Ratings and reviews

Please give us a toggle option for the format, or just put the old left-aligned format back. The picture format is awful, seeing as you have to click to see the entire picture if you send more than one. My notifications also break every other week at this point, and they barely used to break. Fix your issues. Please. It's not hard.

Chats have been constantly blank screening, ive been unable to send messages properly without having to reopen the app per message, switching accounts creates a blank screen as well. Sometimes when attempting to send a message it doesnt send at all & begins to have a buffering bar at the top of the screen. The app is great for chats & the use of AI tools & other applications are great, but its too unresponsive & quite agitating. (Edit: After restarting & a few more troubleshooting options, 👍 :)

Small gripes about this chat app: 1. I can't schedule send. 2. When I'm editing the formatting of text, the text and link previews keep refreshing or something making the scroll position move down. I'll have to check where the "I" bar cursor is to see if that's unintuitively causing the scrolling. I really like the ability to draft messages and have drafts persist. The search function works great.
