Group video chat in messenger

Couple weeks ago my friend who lives overseas told me about group video chat. It works just perfect. Better then any other video chat. So 3 of us can talk for hours with great picture and sound. One of them is now taking language class by using messenger, because it works better then others.

Should be ashamed

You force Facebook users to use Messenger, and yet fail to deliver proper service. App is way oversized for a simple messaging app, but it manages to give low performance anyway. Failing to connect, late and buggy messages, low quality of shared photos and videos. I bet most of the app is all the stuff that I don't even know why would anyone use, like face filters, stickers, video effects, and sounds for them, story...Why wouldn't you just make seperate apps, Messenger, used to share, well, messages, and others for rest of the stuff...oh wait, you would end up with Whatsapp, Instagram and Snapchat. So you took 3 things that work perfectly fine alone, and stuffed them into one app that does nothing good. Good job, might as well delete Facebook.

Bad current update

This latest update is not good. The new snimations on reactions on messages are better than before but somehow they managed to mess up the action of clicking on a message that you replied to so it takes you back in the conversation where it was sent originally. It’s constantly lagging and it goes way further back than it should. Plus when you’re sending messages one after the other, the last one always hides behind your keyboard first. It’s just overall very bad and just confusing.. especially because it worked fine a few days ago. Fix it!
