Ratings and reviews

For a very long time now I haven't been able to select the "custom" option on "View my story". I can add and un-add people but I can't actually use the feature. Besides that this app works great. I really like the experimental features, it's a really cool FaceTime substitute and it'll be interesting to see what else is added to the product.

I absolutely hate that I can't view my saved stories in peace. It automatically plays memories save on the current date, and while the sentiment is nice it is completely unnecessary and ruins the usability. Also when I press the 3 dots to the left it also completely freezes the video and screen. At the very least we should be able to toggle the auto-play on and off. I can't see anyone asking for this as a permanent feature so why implement it as such?

terrible interface. no dark mode. why can't we have the option to turn off double notifications? I don't need to know where they start typing. but otherwise it's a solid interface and I've never dropped a call when video chatting or just calling. very consistent message sending and reviving. filters are silly and cool but I don't really use them. can't complain super hard and still use it. but I'd love to see the longstanding issues I addressed remedied.
