Ratings and reviews

Recently this app has been making messages that have been sent out of order, despite already being delivered and read. It makes everything extremely confusing and unreadable, and isn't exactly the best if I'm trying to hold a conversation with someone important, say, my boss. edit 6/18/24 : for a little while, it stopped and wasn't a problem. but it started happening again. I've updated my phone, restarded my phone, nothing helps. Fix this.

I've been using this message app for about 10 years and I've always loved it. But recently I've had some of the same issues other people have stated. The most frustrating is that conversations are disjointed which causes fragmented communication. . I used to use bookmark for very important conversations as it allowed easy retrieval for future reference. Now I see that every conversation is bookmarked, I'm very unhappy the way things are going with this app.

The app has started scrambling my conversations and sending new notifications for old messages. For instance, it says my mom texted me "yes" at like 2AM, which I know she would never do, and it didn't make sense given my last message. And it keeps changing the order and timestamps of my incoming and outgoing texts every time I open a conversation. Like others have said, I've updated everything and restarted my phone, but nothing has fixed the problem. This is extremely frustrating!
