Ratings and reviews

The bugs are endless. Used to be a great app, but now there are all kinds of problems. Messages remaining undelivered, previous messages remaining in the text box after being sent. Video calls sometimes the camera is off for the other person when it actually isn't. The pop out of the video call glitches out frequently and gets stuck. Occasionally the options for the video call are not present (mute, camera on/off, etc.) And a lot more I can't even fit into this review. About to get a dif app.

What the heck did they do to messenger? The bugs are endless. Search function doesn't work. I can type a word and look for the message I want, but when I tap on it, I get a black empty chat that never loads. Profile function doesn't work, it just shows a semi transparent black screen on top of the previous screen. After this happened, I used the back button, and went back to the (i) section. It never loaded, just showed a completely black screen. Even the bug report function failed!!

Ever since they updated it, i've had all kinds of issues. The bug report won't even work! The worst part is I use fb for all my calls because I don't have service where I live. It rings but doesn't pop up on my screen. I have to search for it in my notifications because even if I go to that person's chat, I can click on it. It has to be through notifications, and I have missed calls because of it.
