Ratings and reviews

The words "Something went wrong. Please try again" haunt me in my sleep. Reels editor is a disaster. I have a fairly new and powerful phone so it's not my device's issue, plus I've seen other reviewers with the same problem. It freezes up as soon as you start doing ANYTHING in it (adding clips, trimming them, music, text, transitions, etc.). With how much money Meta has and how much they push reels in the algorithm, there's no excuse for it to be such a trainwreck!

Updating my review since many of the issues have been fixed. The "save" menu that pops up is a great addition to let us choose which save folder to use, but it'd be nice if it were less prominent. It covers most of the screen, but if I want to quickly save a video and move on without picking a folder, it gets in the way. Maybe a smaller menu would be better.

They just changed the layout for how you share videos/pics with friends. The layout was perfectly fine the way it was before. Now you're gonna make me download a previous version of the App because it's so stupidly changed. I don't like the new layout for sharing videos. I want the share to story option in at the top in a list format like it has been for however long. I don't want the option at the bottom of the screen. I don't need 15 chat heads displayed front and center. Please fix.
