Ratings and reviews

It's crazy to think how dependent we are on such a mediocre app, as it is possible that being the largest messaging app in the world, the photos and videos that are sent lose so much quality. The incredible thing is that if we want to use another app like telegram it is difficult to have conversations out there because people do not use it. Being for now much better messaging app. All wrong

With the new update, I also lost the ability to send gallery photos from within the app, as other users have said. It took me a long time to figure out how to fix it. The other problem I have had for years is: When I am listening to a voice recording and something accidentally covers my phone's light sensor, my screen automatically goes black and the message stops playing. It takes several steps to start the message again, and there is no setting to fix it! It drives me crazy!

This is by far the best messaging app that I have found. It is absolutely perfect for communicating with anyone domestic or overseas in nearly every way imaginable. I have a few gripes. Pictures are degraded quite a bit. I don't see an option to send them in a higher quality. I also hate the the five person limit for sending a message to.
