The bad: Transferring chat history to a new phone is unreliable; I lose tons of messages every time I transfer to a new device. Getting help is pretty impossible; the chat is as slow as a human but as clueless as a robot. Trying to text a new number is a pain; you have to add them as a contact first. The good: You can send HD photos. Voice memos play in the background and have variable speed.

2 stars to the Edit function. So frustrating! When I edit and save a message, it doesn't keep the changes!!! They disappear, and I have to edit 3-4 times before it randomly keeps them. Sometimes, I need to exit the chat and reopen it to see my edits. But other times, there is just no way, and I need to write them over and over again! It's crazy. Plus, you only have 15 min to edit! Why is that?! It's so ridiculous to have such a short amount of time. Just disable that limit or allow an hour!

Honestly, I never turned on the encryption and never set a password, but being told that when I reinstall, I need either a 64-digit number or a password, or I can't access my old messages is sickening. I lost a lot of information because they "do not do resets" and other bs. Why would I need a reset if my stuff was never locked and my encryption was always off. Nobody could have helped me solve my issue. If no star was an option, they sure would get it. I see my backup but it says there is none.
