Keyboard in front of the text

Hi,
After the last update the keyboard it’s in front of the text .when you are having a conversation and the other writes something and you have also the keyboard open to write the image it’s not going directly to the last message. you need to scroll down to see the last message received otherwise the keyboard will be in fort of the text.
Really annoying:(

It became an useless app

You can’t see sent media in a conversation anymore, and I don’t mean scrolling down 3789 thousand years...stupid move, you don’t have nicknames anymore, inconvenient but i can let it fly, but you also removed the option of editing a photo before sending it, also a stupid move...now i keep waiting and hoping that, somehow, like in a low budget movie with a happy ending, Facebook messenger comes back in full glory with fireworks, everything back, even better, and we all ride happily into the sunset...yeah, that’s not gonna happen...like when Facebook app suddenly lost the ability to chat in app, and they needed to make a special messenger in order us to chat, but ok...we were all a little mad, confused and taught it was redundant to use another app just for chat..but after a while...we accepted it and it even started to grow on us, because of all the abilities that messenger had, we embraced it, our parents loved it even more than we did, they could bombard us with millions and millions of useless gifs and fake funny videos, even make your own gifs and what not...but now it’s all over, now my mom keeps asking me what is happening son?! Why can’t i send u you a video, why can’t i see the gallery i sent you anymore?! WHY CAN’T I EDIT A PHOTO OF YOU AND SEND TO A RANDOM PERSON EVEN IF YOU TOLD ME NOT TO SHARE?!...i say: I really don’t know mom, I’m also confused...and scared...I say it’s over mom...it was good while it lasted...and now it’s dead.

So many bugs

Version 240.0 is definitely the most buggy by far. This alters the experience completely. Not only my messages get sent with long delays, but the app scrolls up whenever I receive new messages. Sometimes (although rarely) it works smoothly, but after sending a couple texts it starts to lag again. Also, sometimes it crashes completely, doesn’t update the activity accurately or doesn’t show notifications, even though all notifications are turned on. Please tell me there’s an update coming ASAP.
Update: version 241.0 and still nothing’s changed. If anything, it works even worse when it comes to bugs and crashes and huge delays on messages.
I use this app daily and it’s playing a huge role professionally and personally, there must be another update soon.
