(1) Notifications never appear, even though I do have messages sent to me. (2) Can't search conversation properly, when I find the message I want to jump to, it leads me to a black screen or doesn't do anything at all. (3) Displays double or empty box of my sent messages. (4) When I click on a person I'd like to message, the chat disappears and it's all black, I try to restart, reinstall, or refresh and it remains that way until randomly coming back.

I have been having to force stop and reopen this app dozens of times a day for MONTHS. When I search a chat for something in the past, I can no longer go back to that part of the conversation, it just hangs. When I try to save a photo from a chat, I get a "couldn't save image" error. If I try to share a photo from a chat, I get "Sorry, something went wrong. please try again". The absolute worst, by far.

Good app: Very useful for communicating in real time with family and friends on the other side of the globe (I'm in South East Asia). Recently, though, I've been getting a "Waiting on Network" message, and had to manually clear the app data to get it to work. I think it might be because I switched from my personal profile to the profile of a page I manage, and then back, because it was working until then. But other than that, it has been great, for text, audio, and video chats.
