Having problems

An update to my previous review:
The bug still exists. A hint on how to reproduce it: if you are in a conversation and you go back to the phone home screen and the other party sends you a message and you open up the app without leaving the conversation, the notification badge won’t disappear until you go back to your chat list.

“Dear Developers, With the latest update my messenger notifications have disappeared. No sound, no vibration, no notification bar. I went to setting and tried manual notification switch off/on, but it didn’t solve it. Please check on it!”

Suggestion/Question

This is more like a question/suggestion regarding the app. Isn’t there a ‘mute option’ for only the Messenger?
It would be so great if there was a Silent Mode for the whole app rather than just the option to mute a specific person. The reason why is because e.g I don’t want to turn on the silent mode on my phone during the night because I want to be available for emergencies. However there are friends from different time zone who can send me messages while it is in the middle of the night for me and I don’t want to wake up for the notification.
(I know I could turn off only the internet and would still be available for calling but this option would be so great)
Anyway this is a great app, Thanks for your hard work on this! :)

Please get it fixed!

I used to love the app, I was using it with the update for a while since I had installed it with test flight. There had always been other small issues like the face time bugging, or not having the best quality, but I was ok with that, because it was still useable. But yesterday weird stuff started to happen. My phone would not send a single picture in any way possible, and it was highly disturbing. The new update completely dissapeared, and the speed of the text delivery decreased. These are really annoying and I am pretty angry about them. Could you guys fix it somehow? I would be so grateful!
