Once upon a time this app was great for keeping in touch with friends. Now I am inundated with junk from AI, pictures that won't load and unsolicited memories with this friend or that friend. My friends and family use this to communicate and you have caused it to be cluttered up with garbage. Not happy with all that. Go back to the basics that work and don't hog data.

Ever since I updated about a week ago, I've had constant issues, messages wont send then completely disappear, I wont get new msgs until hours after it was sent, I have to force stop the app and reopen to do anything. ill get notifications that I have a new msg but when I open the app its not there, I have to click on the chat bubble to get it. What is going on?? A couple weeks later and im STILL having issues, having to force stop the app multiple times a day just like another reviewer states.

the app is great. I just hate that it won't let me load pictures once the conversation gets too long. There needs to be a way to hit a button to make your conversation scroll to the top of the conversation the same way there's one to scroll to the bottom. and recently, I've been having problems with delays when video calling. please fix this!
