I have uninstalled and reinstalled installed this app twice already. I have ALL my notifications on- birth on the app and on the phone. I'm not on "Do not disturb," yet I still don't get notifications when someone messages me. I have to open the app to see them, so if someone messages me something important and time-sensitive, I miss it. Fix your app, Meta.

Individual contact notifications stopped working. I have a different notification set up for one person and also to bubble the conversation and neither work anymore. I have tried deleting cache and data, uninstall and then reinstall. That will fix it for about an hour and then it goes back to not working again. Everyone else's in my family works no problem with the same settings.

The app turns to just black. I couldn't see the messages most of the time. This has been an issue for several months. I thought maybe my internet connection was just poor. But NO. I see my messages in my notification but couldn't view them, and can't reply to them promptly. I have to wait a few minutes or just open the app once its not acting up. I am just done with this. I thought it will eventually be fixed but ITS NEVER FIXED. Please do something about this.
