Bugs. Endless bugs. Every update I hope a fix will come, it never does. Scroll up too far? It crashes. Search through old messages? It crashes. Do pretty much anything and it will crash. Start playing a video and then open it in full screen, you get just the audio. The only fix is force stopping the app, usually just for it to crash again. This app had no problems for years. 2014-2023 there was never an issue. Now it is horrendous. What is going on at meta?

So many bugs. Last few updates have made this near unuseable on android for people running a personal facebook and a business page. Toggling between the two results in messages stuck in an infinite "sending" loop, and if you exit, toggle back, or force-quit the app these messages are missing on re-opening. The "login as bug is still present and randomly tells you to switch and login. Force-close and re-open resolves that promptly. Messenger apps should be simple and reliable.

Straight to the point, this app is only for convenience and fast communication. With its previous releases I hate some of its features, especially the bubble chats from different Android versions (I prefer chathead more). Moreover, I don't know if it is from my phone or not but from my different phone, the chat head is delayed, or if not delayed, it will pop up the message that I have already read. In addition, the app, even though with HD option, still is low quality while sending pictures.
