Multiple Issues. I am not getting notifications anymore. I have to constantly keep uninstalling the app. I can't send photos randomly & then I can. A message is up at the top stating "waiting for network" even though im in my home & there is no issue with the network since all other devices in the home are fine. I uninstall, I clear the cache, I restart my phone & the issue continues. trying to get any help with this is ridiculous. I have a business account & I am not getting my messages.

Massive data hog! Takes up 3GB+ of space on my phone. Moving it to my SD card helps tremendously, but the app has randomly reinstalled itself on my internal storage without warning four times now, crippling my phone's function and rendering it practically inoperable each time. It used to be a good messaging app, but it has been absolutely terrible these past few months. If Facebook didn't basically force you to use it, I would have deleted it already. It takes up way too much space!

Messenger is a great app to use to message people but I really wish you brought back all my chat history so I can easily find all my old photos and messages from like the year 2019 to look back at when I use the search bar to type a certain word like "girls". I really miss looking back at those old things without having to scroll all the way to the bottom of my file viewer just to find what I'm looking for. It's just so difficult now having to deal with the new update
