Screen reading issues

I love messenger. I use it daily. There’s just one big problem that I have. I am low vision and use the screen reader that Apple gives you an all of their products. Messenger and that screen reading program are no longer seeming to be cooperative. in the beginning, there was no issues. Everything was great. Messenger updated and the readback issues began. Trying to read a message. Send a message now is challenging since when you open up a conversation, it tends to reread the entire history to you. You are forced to jump through 1 million hoops just to be able to come to the bottom and send a new message. like stated in the beginning zero problems. Today big problems. This issue affects many many people who use this screen reading program all over the world. If messenger would just get on the ball and make it compatible again I used to be. Then in a heartbeat, I would give it five out of five stars. I realize the people in the low vision world are a minority in the grand scheme of things. But it would be nice if Messenger would look at what their program does when they make updates with all other programs like apples, voice over and androids talk back. So that low vision people/blind people can use this magnificent skill, effectively efficiently, conveniently.

App going downhill fast.

Ever since the last update the calls have been messing up bad when I try to call someone it says I’m calling myself and keeps ringing and ringing for so long I have to turn my phone off completely to get it to stop on top of that messenger it self as been messing up my data it will turn my data off out of nowhere or it won’t even recognize I have data on at all it just keeps saying “ no Internet connection” when I have full bars of LTE and even more on that note calls will randomly end or it will only end on me or said persons end but never showed on the other persons end and the whole time you think you’re on call you really not video length is way too short my friends can’t even send me videos without having to crop them into separate parts and same for me I keep getting kicked out of messenger almost on a daily basis nowadays and sometimes it keeps saying that my information is wrong when I never change my login information and don’t get me started on how many times it says “unable to login” over and over again on a daily basis and on top of the fact and stuff it has very bad security measures if you get hacked or so on. All the recent updates for a while On this app have just been making this app worse and worse and it has so many bugs and glitches it’s not even funny this app has gone to complete garbage.
