I love how I can send a full video without it breaking up and how I can send lots of pictures with videos at one time. It saves me time. Thank you. Now if there was a way I can label the person name or put in a group type file THAT WOULD BE PERFECT because people change their profile picture or something and I can't remember who is who and it takes so long to scroll down the page trying to find the person I want to chat with. Other than that I ❤️ it.

I can't listen to audio messages sent. Messenger either won't play them, or it'll act like it's playing them but nothing is coming through my speakers (yes, my volume is on). If I have multiple chat heads open, it'll send different emotes than the one that's selected in place of the thumbs up. My app is up to date. I've tries restarting my phone. I've tried closing and reopening the app. Nothing helps.

Until recently this app worked fine, however in the past week I have to uninstall and reinstall this app daily in order to keep using it due to a "feature" they are trying to force that requires a pin. Whenever this feature is suggested to me, I can no longer use the app, as the popup cannot be dismissed and it shows up over every single instance of the app, like chat heads. As soon as I've talked to everyone about an alternative means of contact, I'm deleting this app for good!
