App has so many bugs, and doesn't work properly. Restarting the app or restarting the phone it's the same doesn't help. Downloading again also doesn't help. It keeps frozen saying 'Connecting' when obviously it's not connecting at all. Wi Fi is not the problem, and phone is definitely not the problem. It doesn't work at all when i want to report the issues. Update 2 years later, the app is getting worst every day, lags are unbearable, I can't open the links I once shared, all in all, bad, fix it

The end-to-end encryption is really unnecessary for some users, including me. Every now and then I cannot see the photos, files and links in some convos, and that is so frustrating. A lot of my documents have been lost, and it keeps on happening again and again. PLEASE REMOVE THE END-TO-END ENCRYPTION. Or at least allow us to choose whether to revert our messenger app back to how it was, or keep up with the latest update.

It was perfect as it was before. I'm not able to go to old messages in DMs. I search a certain keyword up and then as I tap on the message, it takes so long to load the old message. Sometimes the app completely crashes just because of that. In group chats, this doesn't occur. I'm suspecting it's because of the End-to-End Encryption. Man, this sucks.
