Just because people will use it either way, it seems fine that they don't really care about how well it works. Haven't been able to send images for very many days. File is under definitely well under 15mb and my connection is as strong as ever (as per a certain FAQ page on their website). Not the first, or the second or even the third time this happened. App is on the latest version. Don't understand how they can keep having the same problem coming back

some parts are very good, some not good . One of the better features is that while in a video call, it will refresh .not like some of the other apps that freeze up. I also find that the sound in a video call is better than most other apps. I also like that I can see when my friends are online. problem is it's quite slow and sometimes doesn't work. Also, find there are too many steps to delete conversations and photos . And there is no way to delete phone calls without shutting the app down

Worst version. After the update, files cannot be downloaded. Some files cannot be sent as well. It is the most useful app for my elderly parents as they can send/receive files through messenger app without the need to use laptops or computers. I tried to send a file but my messenger version does not support that feature, when I tried to update in playstore, it says that my app is already updated.
