Starting to become unusable. Over the past 18-24 months, the app has become painfully slow at times. Some messages literally take HOURS to send and/or receive. Some other messages get lost. It's not just me, it's not my phone (I have 3 phones with the same results), and not the internet signal (cell or WiFi). Just updated the app. We'll see if it helps. Also, META, please give users the option to opt out of AI and any other unnecessary things that you keep dumping on us without warning.

I am not allowed to see a message from someone because my app is not updated. Yet there is no update for the app. Also if I tap and hold on the background of a chat, a theme selection pops up. This can't be turned off. Also the picture editor in this typically does not work well for cropping. You select what you want to crop and then the app decides you've selected a completely different location. Please fix your app, it feels like it's broken more often than it works.

Used to be a reliable, quality messaging app. Unfortunately, since they forced the AI integration, it is glitchy and unreliable. You may or may not be able to message someone, and it may or may not be delivered. Previous messages won't show up, and if you sync it then you'll get a few before an error. At this point. Go back to email.
