Ratings and reviews

This would he a good app if you could fix the bugs already! Videos don't get sent, or they are buggy. If you send links to people through Facebook reels, it's NEVER the link to that real. It shows random ones other than the one that's sent. When you do send things and can open them, it works great. But this bug has been going on for months now, and it has only gotten worse, not better. I've checked all updates, and I don't think you guys have even scraped the surface of this issue. FIX THIS BUG

Garbage, I want the old messenger back when I could watch the videos in the chat and not have to go to links to see it. And the reason I hate the links? Because your app doesn't even pull up he correct video 90% of the dang time. You just send me to some random video or page. I try to even click the page on the bottom of the video to see the person page and it still brings me to a random video. This app has gotten worse and worse over time. So to put it simple. Facebook is garbage.

This app is falling apart and it doesn't work good on weaker devices. Its also more buggy than its ever been and it seems to get worse with each update. It freaks out on newer devices and older ones. Lately it doesn't like to even open proper anymore, ill open the app and try to open a chat and then the screen is just black and wont load no matter how long you sit there. Fixes after closing and reopening several times. Also scrolling chats to read older messages it just wont let u sometimes.
