I could put up with the messages occasionally not sending for no reason, but now the notifications for the messages have just stopped. You don't even know someone messaged you until you decide to open the program again and it's like "surprise! Messages for you after all!" Same with calling, that just frequently refuses to connect or even show until you close the whole program and reopen it (sometimes having to do this several times). Tried the suggestions, none worked, switched to Telegram.

Glitchy AF! Some messages/pictures never arrive for some group members. Comparing screen shots of the message history shows that this happens a lot! Makes group chat very disjointed and hard to follow. Often get 'you cannot see this message' when someone is replying/quoting another user. Often freezes /crashes. Username & profile picture updates sometimes slow (or never) to update on other people's views. Help isn't helpful!

New version is so much worse than the old one! The old one had its annoying bugs and issues, but the new one seems to be broken beyond repair - loads of existing functionality has been removed, and there's a boatload of new issues to boot. Really disappointed by this, as someone who's been using this app for some time, especially when these changes are being made under the banner of accessibility.
