Ratings and reviews

Like this messanger for writing and calling with my family and friends. However last update deliver very inconvenient change - call drop button was move to the top right corner and was reduce in size 2-3 times. Now it is not possible to drop a call without using second hand and also requires to focus to find it. Hope UI/UX developers change it back to bugger and in the bottom of the screen!

After the last update, the UI had a makeover. Now need to look careful where everything is. Also the notifications is not always working. 8 out of 10 times i dont get a notification. No popup, no sound, nothing. Only when i open the app i can see that i missed several notification. Checked all my setting and everything looks the eay it should be. Hope this will be fixed as soon as possible.

It works great! The UI is a bit overwhelming sometimes, but other than that it works well. The biggest problem for me personally, that docked quite a few stars, is being unable to turn off text to emoji. Idk bout you, but 😀 looks horrifying compared to :). Would recommend, and I would really appreciate being able to turn off this ding dang feature.
