This app has lots of bugs

Instead of updating the filters of the cam. You should better update the notifications because they don't notify even when it's enabled. When I search for a word within the messages in a group chat and click the arrow it just stays at the recent message and doesn't show the different messages that I'm looking for. It just glitches all the time.
Fix these bugs because it is annoying how a billion dollar company offers such a poor performance app that I need use everyday for school activities and communication.

Great app but can be improved

EDIT: It's is being improved. Thank u

I am glad we now have a messenger app without having to log in of fb since I deactivated my fb account months ago.

But during the first weeks, there are problems when I try to do a video call, my camera lags and it would stop functioning properly. It would turn green sometimes, so I do not use this that often. But I am still not yet sure how this feature works cause I havent tried it yet after I upgraded my OS.

Also, I would love if there would be a feature where I can easily take a look at my archived messages without typing the name of the sender. I have archived lots of messages from people because I want to reply to their messages later on. It would be easy if there is a feature for this.

Lastly, I really liked that your recent update finally has a reply button! :) Thank you for this. And pls, do not add messenger stories. I DONT NEED THEM HERE ON MY MAC. hehe Thank u :)
