It used to be a great messenging app, but for some reason, the developers didn't like that and threw it in the shredder. Now, I send videos only for them to sit on "sending" until I send a follow-up message. I also can't take pictures through the app without putting a filter over my image by default (assuming AI generated). Developers need to quit being tweakers. If it works, leave it ALONE!

My messenger keeps freezing. And won't send texts, just says "sending" for hours, I've tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling, and clearing the cache, it's not helping for very long. I also try to set different tones for different people and it's not taking that either. It's fully up to date, and by this point I'm about to stop using the app entirely

The new requirement for a PIN is ridiculous and barely works. The AI "imagine" thing should not be the first thing before my photos on my camera roll. This glitches regularly - from not being able to watch videos, to having to force stop the app multiple times a day if I want to switch accounts, or having to do so because the app isn't marking messages as read. Not letting me use the search function, etc. It is simply becoming more and more of a hassle and inconvenience.
