Pos app. I only still have this god awful app because it's the only thing that my friends use. I've updated it and it still has the same issue. It gets worse and worse with every year. currently the issue I've been having for a month or longer is that it will not let me send voice clips, it will just be stuck on sending and then when I send something else the voice clip I was trying to send vanishes. Does it all day long repeatedly

Overall it's great. Just run into a few bugs and glitches sometimes. I've had trouble with group chats, where it won't let me add somebody to a current one. And just today I tried to make a new group chat and it didn't let me complete it after selecting the people. It just bugged out and took me back to the main conversations page! Kind of frustrating!

Why did the latest update make the first option when holding on a sent message to "pin", instead of "edit" like it used to be. No one is pinning messages on a daily basis, but we edit messages cause of typos every hour. Please put "edit" back as the first option also, there's the occasional issue of notifications being received for old messages that have already been read
