Ratings and Reviews
Latest update
Normally a fantastic app. Thank you. However. The latest update has annoyed me. I don’t know if the developers read this, but if you do. Please take note, and I’m not the only one.
When I now get message from someone, it just says notification not the name. This is very frustrating
I have been into Apple, thinking it was me and my phone. But apparently it appears to be the update.
Maybe something secret hidden in the settings, I don’t know. It would be greatly appreciated if this little thing could be changed back.
buggy as hell
messenger hs become absolute garbage over the last 4-6 months, full of bugs and continuously crashes, wont let me copy messages or send them, receives messages without notifications so youre un aware until you log in. doesnt ring on the phone call and only sends a missed call message and thats is the only messages that are coming through randomly drops call with perfect signal the app continuously instantly crashed and i was forced to make another account as this one KEPT crashing about 2 months into this new account and the same thing again, i have to force off my phone and back on for it to work, my father who has a different phone who lives in a majorly different area who does everything different is experiencing the same thing also. this is my third complaint/review of the app and something is yet to be done, personally i cant wait for "the next latest and greatest messaging app that everyone will flock to" im sick of messenger and being ignored
Facebook Messenger has changed… for the worst.
First of all, I would like to qualify myself as an experienced user of Facebook Messenger as I use this service almost 24 hours in 7 days. My fiancée is in the Philippines and this is one way of talking to her.
1. I have several gripes about the “new“ Facebook messenger as this really affected how I used the app and how I communicated with her.
1. II miss the fact that we can take a snapshot of the people in the call instead of just taking a screen shot of whatever on the screen. It is useful because atleast there was a way to get the photos of the people with one gesture. I would appreciate if you would bring it back.
2. I would also like to tell you about the iOS problem when I am connected to my headphones (Bose N700 and Apple Airpods Pro original). Whenever I get a call from Facebook Messenger and I am connected to the headphones, 100% of the time, the audio disconnects. This is not a good experience as I would expect that the audio will be piped through the Bluetooth instead of it being played via the phone’s speaker.
Please investigate this.
Facebook Messenger is really important to me and to many people, so I am hoping that you look into this. I will appreciate this so much.
