Ratings and reviews

Samsung S22 Ultra - Since the recent update(s) calls don't disconnect completely. It seems calls are running in the background. I noticed when I wasn't able make calls. Pressing the call button won't do anything. Then I force stopped the application and heard the call disconnect sound. While the call was connected there were missed calls as well, i guess because the system is engaged. second issue is the edit option doesn't work for the messagea in the chat. It allows to edit but doesn't save

I like the new update, the UI looks fresh and sleek, and the AI is fun. I also appreciate the option of being able to make stickers from photos directly in the app, but it seems there's only 2 options for the backgrounds. Those are auto crop or full background. I don't see any eraser tool, besides the one in the paint brush tool which doesn't seem to work for backgrounds or paint. If this were fixed and I could erase parts of the background from within the app it would be 5 stars

So helpful for group chats and for messaging when you only have access to wifi/data! My one BIG complaint is that once you open the app and see that you have unread messages, the dot notification on the app disappears even if you haven't read the message or have marked the message as unread. It is a usability issue that bothers many other users! App developers, please make the unread notification appear when there are unread messages!!!
