May 18, 2022 By Red ValentinosI go with Messenger Lite to save space. Normally, it's a great app. But for some reason, when I send pictures, I don't get to see the photo. All I see is a text line that I can hold down on and download from there. And this issue is unique to my tablet. Neither of my phones do this, and everyone else can see the pictures just fine. more -
Nov 14, 2018 By A Google userBetter than the full Messenger, but it's missing a lot of things, so it's not a perfect alternative. I understand they wanted it to be cut back, because it is "Lite" for a reason, but I think they went too far in some cases (can't tag friends in group chats, pictures don't load automatically). Not only that, but features they do have barely work at times. Phone calls don't support Bluetooth for some reason, pictures will stop loading completely after a while of having the app open, eventually profile pictures will all be blank and won't load properly until restarting the app, etc. Pretty disappointed with all Facebook apps. more -
Video length is too short
Sep 22, 2021 By BlatisianI have friends that talk through videos when I’m not available, instead of audio only or typing. And I will get 10-20+ videos at a time from one person. Please upgrade the app to make videos 3 minutes max, instead of 20 seconds. It would make things so much better. I know I’m just one person. But maybe look at your data to see how many people use the video message function and if they are sending multiple at a time as well. Please and thank you. Edit. Also, maybe add a highlight to videos already viewed by me on my side. If I start watching them and that friend texts or sends a new video, the entire conversation jumps to the bottom and I lose my place. And trying to figure out where I left off in 20+ 20 second videos is a hassle; 40+ today(all at once). Like a yellow outline around the seen videos and blue around the ones I haven’t viewed yet. Something like that, that’s colorblind friendly lol. No purples and blues or greens and reds together, cuz they will blend and I and others like me wont be able to tell which is which 😂. Thank you more -
Sep 21, 2018 By A Google userUseful. I like that it doesn't have too many features like the traditional Facebook Messenger. It's light and runs fast. Video calls are pretty smooth and messages send great. Saves data and space. One complaint. Not really important but I guess just annoys me. If you or a friend changes their profile picture it doesn't always show it's changed on the app. Kinda irritating. Especially when it's yours. more -

Worked well until a few weeks ago…
Feb 6, 2022 By TheRealKitUPDATE: Found out through digging online that an app called “Lockdown” was blocking me from being able to log in. Turned it off for a moment and it let me log in. Leaving this here in case someone is having the same issue. This app worked well for the several years that I’ve had it and used it. A few weeks ago I got a flood of notifications for one message my friend sent, so I deleted and reinstalled the app to try again. Now it won’t even let me log in and has an error message that pops up. I saw several other people had this issue, so I thought it would be fixed fairly quickly. I used the web version to access messenger… well now they’re phasing that out and it’s no longer possible to look at messenger without the app… that I can’t log into. more -
Sep 22, 2019 By A Google userThe app works fine. It does have the bare necessities and is great if saving data or memory is needed. Basic and functional just isn't the same. It's lacking options I am used to and too fond of. Videos won't download. Most of the stickers are unavailable and not easy to find in the search. The extras that are missing aren't worth the data or the space for the full app experience, at least not in this case. more -
May 11, 2021 By Alex OttenIt still has a problem with sending videos! If your video is more than 90 seconds long, it's hit or miss whether it will send. It doesn't show an error, the loading spinner continues for minutes and that's your sign that the video won't send. There's no way I know of to retrieve the unsent video. If the app doesn't send more than 90 seconds, I can deal with that, but this behavior is very frustrating. EDIT: Now it's not sending videos at all! Latest version. more -
May 19, 2019 By A Google userI've been using it for a long time and it's my go-to online messaging platform. it helps especially with convos outside the country. it's small and can do the basics (call, text and video call) which is great. However, the video calling is garbage especially with contacting rural areas in the philippines. International calls to me get dropped. Photos used to preview for me to download, but now it's just a filename and its stuck on "preparing download" when i try to save it. :((( more -
Jul 3, 2020 By Crystal TencheiraOn the good: saves serious space & memory usage. However, I have the same issues w/ it that are listed in other reviews: calls (w/ & w/o video) drop constantly, poor audio quality, FB only wants to open og messenger, NEEDS a dark mode, not being able to delete messages, especially links to videos & gifs, gifs won't open or even load, sending pics or opening pics takes forever & a few other things I don't have the room to add. It's a trade off. If you only have 8 Gb of space it's good to use. more

App going downhill fast.
Jun 9, 2022 By Puppy07182020Ever since the last update the calls have been messing up bad when I try to call someone it says I’m calling myself and keeps ringing and ringing for so long I have to turn my phone off completely to get it to stop on top of that messenger it self as been messing up my data it will turn my data off out of nowhere or it won’t even recognize I have data on at all it just keeps saying “ no Internet connection” when I have full bars of LTE and even more on that note calls will randomly end or it will only end on me or said persons end but never showed on the other persons end and the whole time you think you’re on call you really not video length is way too short my friends can’t even send me videos without having to crop them into separate parts and same for me I keep getting kicked out of messenger almost on a daily basis nowadays and sometimes it keeps saying that my information is wrong when I never change my login information and don’t get me started on how many times it says “unable to login” over and over again on a daily basis and on top of the fact and stuff it has very bad security measures if you get hacked or so on. All the recent updates for a while On this app have just been making this app worse and worse and it has so many bugs and glitches it’s not even funny this app has gone to complete garbage. more -
Jul 4, 2022 By Richard OlivasI liked this as it originally was a great, lite version of the full messenger app. However, in the last year, I stopped getting notifications for messages and have tried numerous ways to fix it with no success. This app ended up being light on features, but also non-working when it came to functionality. Uninstalled. more -
Messenger keeps kicking me off
May 7, 2022 By ladylambertFor the past three days messenger has literally been kicking me from the app nonstop. If I’m lucky I can get it to work enough for me to send maybe one message before it starts doing the same thing. I click the app to open it, it tries to open, then immediately shuts down. Over and over and over. And now when I do get into it, if it actually allows me to stay on the app, it no longer allows me access to my photos. I try to go to settings to allow access, but the app isn’t asking for permission in my settings. So I can’t even fix that. But I’m more concerned with the fact that I literally can’t get messenger to open unless I shut my phone off and on three or four times in a row. And when it does let me in, I know I have a limited amount of time before it does it again. It’s done this once before I few months back, and there was an update that fixed it and I had no more issues until recently. So I keep looking on here for an update, but haven’t seen one yet- so I’m curious if it’s just my phone specifically or if it’s the app itself. Either way it’s extremely irritating especially when it’s the main (and basically only) way that I communicate with people. And now I can’t even do that. It’s extremely frustrating to just continuously be kicked out of the app for no apparent reason. Please fix this.. more -
May 3, 2022 By Steven KLight on resources, light on features. When someone sends any link, it first opens through a Facebook tracking link before going to what the link actually is. Because I have the Facebook domain blocked during the day, I can't open any other links people send me because Facebook tracks every single thing you do, even if it doesn't directly involve them. There's no option to copy the message when there's a thumbnail from the link so you can't copy and paste the link directly. more -
Retrieve those important features on Messenger
Jun 10, 2022 By albertczzzzI noticed that a few useful features on Facebook and Messenger were removed these days. (1) The new update to bury the buyer’s profile icon from an order is disappointing and useless. (2)The notification of receiving orders from Messenger now is gone. (3)Messages from potential buyers on Messenger automatically disappear after turning off the app (or after a particular amount of offline time.) As a seller, I always reach out to my buyers for delivery of their packages and, at least, say thank you for their purchase. Now these important features, both online and on the app, were buried so that there’s no way to contact my buyers for that or for any shipping issues involving the orders, if that could possibly happen. Now the only way for me to contact my buyers is to raise a new conversation by typing their full names and looking into their profile images for recognizing if they’re the right person. But the problem is that the new message may or may not been seen by the buyer in time, because I’m not a friend of the buyer to raise the conversation, and the message may be treated as spam message and has notification to the buyer at all. I’m looking forward to getting those useful, important features back on Marketplace/ Messenger. more -
Scammers n Messenger
Jul 24, 2022 By wtracy229I would like everyone to know that these iPhones can be mirrored if your being scammed by ignorant scammers threw messenger by way of two authentication factors if txt messages are highlighted/clicked on their phones and no one NOT even Verizon WARNED anybody of this. My phone has been hacked I was locked out of my Facebook page an ALL the messages the hacker sent me threw messenger was deleted and locked messenger all in one. I was scammed out of over $700 and my phone showed me another device was connected to my phone ALL my Family and Friends in my CONTACT LIST were contacted by these hackers using my photo making them think they were me. This is a sad situation cause I’m ONLY live off Disability born disable little money with 2 children that needs my help. I’m totally upset with VERIZON if I had Not had a brain surgery last month maybe I had a chance of seeing this was a Scam but my thinking is slower right now. Verizon need to have it where your passwords can ONLY be changed on the device you created it on. STOP THESE SCAMMERS AND SEND THEM TO PRISON ASAP. These ppl sits around and think of how to take from the poor ppl ALL DAY. more -
Absolute garbage
May 23, 2021 By 3orknoozPoliticized and only supports their own benefits by stealing our info for free and selling it for millions. They restrict you for speaking what you believe and force you to see what you don’t believe and what you’re not interested in. Their what’s so called community guidelines are generic, and kindergarten level. You won’t be able to say a swear word even in a closed group as a fricking joke. So be formal cuz that’s what the alien wants you to be. If you wanna restrict specific people from accessing certain content, why don’t you add a pop-up consent for 18+ content, sensitive imagery/ text, etc? Last but not least, the most recent ban for Palestine supporters and the obvious support to the Zionist occupation is just so full of it! We know that the alien is a huge supporter of these oppressors but these are own personal accounts and you make money from our use of it, you don’t get to dictate to us what we should say or believe! I really hate that many things are now attached to this app but sooner or later, with the technological growth, there will be a better and more convenient fair options! more -
Rude employee
Jul 19, 2022 By Chapala22My wife and I were in CB for some lunch. The older man host was very rude to us telling us to move out of way that we were blocking the entrance to the restaurant. We were told it was a 15 minute wait but we waited 50 minutes. The older man said You should know when you come here you will have to wait. I saw 2 cashiers waiting with nothing to do. 3 ladies in the front of the store just walking around. Trying to stop the thieves I guess. 3 employees at the podium to seat guests, with 1 poor guy to clean tables WOW. Little excessive to me. YOU Need to focus on our elderly and have an area where they can sit. Outside is not the answer Too uncomfortable for them. An elderly couple with canes had to stand for nearly an hour. Shame on you. Totally unacceptable !! As for your merchandise, that is not why we visit. It is the food. Store manager should put employees where they need them If you can’t find employees then CB is doing the wrong thing. Pay your employees a decent wage and you would not have staffing problems. CB made MILLIONS last year. I know I won’t get a reply because that is the way CB is. more -
Apr 27, 2019 By A Google userI use this in order to avoid the bloat of the main app. However, recently it seems that pictures in messages don't appear, instead only showing a file name. When you click it, it asks to download, but confirming does nothing. I'm entirely unable to see pictures now, which only bugs my friends using the full messenger app further. Not being able to see reactions is also a PITA. I'd love to migrate off Facebook entirely if I were able. more -
Facebook needs to redesign all of its messaging apps
Feb 6, 2021 By xtosmiaI honestly can’t understand how they allow so many bugs and glitches in this app to go on and on forever. For starters, if you accidentally add a theme and emoji to a group chat, everyone gets notified. But then you can’t remove themes. You can only CHANGE to another theme. Who programmed this app? Seriously? Why can’t you remove themes completely? Please explain the reasoning. And hyperlink previews often don’t work. Sometimes they do. But not always, and it seems to be tied to themes. Group chats with themes tend to have this bug. And when you UNSEND a message, they feel the need to alert everyone about it. Why?? So annoying. Sometimes you message the wrong person/group. It happens. It should allow a clean unsend like Instagram messanger. With no trace or alerts. Facebook needs to sit down with Instagram and WhatsApp and go over the BEST and WORST features of each app and make ONE that works across ALL platforms. For example, allow LIKES in WhatsApp. Allow unsend without alerting everyone. Allow hyperlink previews. Alow GIFS to play (Gifs do not play in Instagram, but they do in WhatsApp & FB). This is a typical problem in the modern era. No broad level quality control. It’s whack-a-mole programming and new platform aquisition by everyone. And the unbelievable ad targeting you get due to bots constantly reading your messages. Wow. No privacy whatsoever. We need a change. Otherwise, the app works nicely. more

Jul 25, 2019 By A Google userLove this app...works great for me, with little issues(only when facebook itself has been having difficulties). For everyone complaining about the new notification sound, it is easily changeable! Go into the app, click cogwheel in right upper corner, then click notifications and sounds, then hit manage notifications, hit the sound section and you should be able to choose from any sound choices on your phone. I have one titled twinkle, which sounds very similar to old messenger notification. more -
Apr 14, 2020 By A Google userI love the small storage space it takes up. It uses so little data! For a drawn down version of the app it doesn't skimp on features! This app is perfect if you have a data limit or you simply need to save storage space or speed up the performance of your phone. One feature I'd like to see added is dark mode support. more

Feb 15, 2019 By A Google userAbsolutely love this, always interested slimmed down versions of apps. Its fast, uses up less space and has all the general features you need. Only thing that bothers me is you dont go inactive when you close the app, and text below messages (delivered, sent, seen, should always be present and some kind of indication someone has looked at the message without having to open the message. more -
Oct 6, 2020 By Angelo S.Dear Facebook, this is a very good app. It really needs the capability though to be able to delete a comment, or a pic, or anything else for both parties. And, it would be extra nice if we were able to move our viewing window around the screen rather than have it stationary in the top right corner. Thank you. more

However, the video calling is garbage especially with contacting rural areas in the philippines. International calls to me get dropped. Photos used to preview for me to download, but now it's just a filename and its stuck on "preparing download" when i try to save it. :((( more -
Jul 3, 2020 By Crystal TencheiraOn the good: saves serious space & memory usage. However, I have the same issues w/ it that are listed in other reviews: calls (w/ & w/o video) drop constantly, poor audio quality, FB only wants to open og messenger, NEEDS a dark mode, not being able to delete messages, especially links to videos & gifs, gifs won't open or even load, sending pics or opening pics takes forever & a few other things I don't have the room to add. It's a trade off. If you only have 8 Gb of space it's good to use. more -
Some of the latest features missing
Jan 1, 2021 By BgzorroDid the developers just give up on this app for iPad or something? I see that the latest update was two weeks ago, and usually Facebook likes to update all of their apps every two days 🤨 While the app *is* functional, it lacks some of the updated features that are all available on the iPhone app and mostly available via the direct website — such as FB avatars stickers and the like (i do appreciate the extra choices for emoji reacts, tho’; i just wish there were more heart options with that). My iPad is on the latest OS (iPadOS 14) and is an iPad Air 2...this latest update of Facebook Messenger is an incomplete version of the latest update for its version on iPhone 😐 would be nice to access ALL of the latest features on this app for iPad, since there’s more space on my iPad than on on my iPhone to support it. Hopefully, y’all will come back with a new update of ALL the latest features soon... more

Facebook needs to redesign all of its messaging apps
Feb 6, 2021 By xtosmiaI honestly can’t understand how they allow so many bugs and glitches in this app to go on and on forever. For starters, if you accidentally add a theme and emoji to a group chat, everyone gets notified. But then you can’t remove themes. You can only CHANGE to another theme. Who programmed this app? Seriously? Why can’t you remove themes completely? Please explain the reasoning. And hyperlink previews often don’t work. Sometimes they do. But not always, and it seems to be tied to themes. Group chats with themes tend to have this bug. And when you UNSEND a message, they feel the need to alert everyone about it. Why?? So annoying. Sometimes you message the wrong person/group. It happens. It should allow a clean unsend like Instagram messanger. With no trace or alerts. Facebook needs to sit down with Instagram and WhatsApp and go over the BEST and WORST features of each app and make ONE that works across ALL platforms. For example, allow LIKES in WhatsApp. Allow unsend without alerting everyone. Allow hyperlink previews. Alow GIFS to play (Gifs do not play in Instagram, but they do in WhatsApp & FB). This is a typical problem in the modern era. No broad level quality control. It’s whack-a-mole programming and new platform aquisition by everyone. And the unbelievable ad targeting you get due to bots constantly reading your messages. Wow. No privacy whatsoever. We need a change. Otherwise, the app works nicely. more -
You missed it up again, way to go
Aug 12, 2020 By Not good for meI am becoming more and more disappointed with messenger, not only did you do away with the sticker blow ups, you also did away with the icons on the the picture edit. I used to be able to use the kiss lips to kiss my wife and my daughter goodnight as we a far apart and I like for them to know I am kissing goodnight, yes corny I know but it is something we found that helps us. But now in order for me to even do that once I have to use the text and use only one and it takes time to do that so all I can get is one because she is wanting to sleep. Also the lack in the chat itself has got slower and slower. Not to mention the video chat is really bad. And can not hold a connection. It seems that all you are doing is trying to cater to the adware and businesses and not to the actual people that really use it to stay in touch with there loved ones. Bring back the features please and stop with all the adware and sponsors. I am sure most are like me if they want to find a product then they go to the website itself. I don’t need to use you for that. Very very disappointed Facebook and Messenger August 12, 2020 Once again when you are going good you start to tinker with the app and screw things up, You have got it now to where it slow again and not respond. Just a month ago it was actually work fairly good but not now. Please address the lack time and loading issues. Thank you.. more -
Dec 5, 2018 By A Google userThis app used to work somewhat. The voice and video calls are very slow and laggy. The calls get dropped a lot. For some reason today the app crashes every time i open it. I updated the app and it just won't work. Every time i open the app it immediately crashes. Great job FB. more -
Nov 29, 2020 By Magnus EricsmoenIt's okay, tried it when the regular app broke - never had an issue with Messenger before the last update, now it fails to show images, videos, voice texts, etc. Now I have to go to a third party at the cost of dinner functionality (and since Facebook did something with third party access), using a non-stuck app caused me to get locked out of my account. As if Facebook was not annoying enough already! (Maybe they're trying to finish driving the rest of us to another social media service)! more -
Oct 23, 2018 By A Google userLove that this app is slimmed down, but it is missing a very critical feature. If someone reacts to your message, you cannot see that in this lite version. That should absolutely be a required feature as not being able to see certain communications from the other person can make things weird more

App going downhill fast.
Jun 9, 2022 By Puppy07182020Ever since the last update the calls have been messing up bad when I try to call someone it says I’m calling myself and keeps ringing and ringing for so long I have to turn my phone off completely to get it to stop on top of that messenger it self as been messing up my data it will turn my data off out of nowhere or it won’t even recognize I have data on at all it just keeps saying “ no Internet connection” when I have full bars of LTE and even more on that note calls will randomly end or it will only end on me or said persons end but never showed on the other persons end and the whole time you think you’re on call you really not video length is way too short my friends can’t even send me videos without having to crop them into separate parts and same for me I keep getting kicked out of messenger almost on a daily basis nowadays and sometimes it keeps saying that my information is wrong when I never change my login information and don’t get me started on how many times it says “unable to login” over and over again on a daily basis and on top of the fact and stuff it has very bad security measures if you get hacked or so on. All the recent updates for a while On this app have just been making this app worse and worse and it has so many bugs and glitches it’s not even funny this app has gone to complete garbage. more -
Jul 4, 2022 By Richard OlivasI liked this as it originally was a great, lite version of the full messenger app. However, in the last year, I stopped getting notifications for messages and have tried numerous ways to fix it with no success. This app ended up being light on features, but also non-working when it came to functionality. Uninstalled. more -
Messenger keeps kicking me off
May 7, 2022 By ladylambertFor the past three days messenger has literally been kicking me from the app nonstop. If I’m lucky I can get it to work enough for me to send maybe one message before it starts doing the same thing. I click the app to open it, it tries to open, then immediately shuts down. Over and over and over. And now when I do get into it, if it actually allows me to stay on the app, it no longer allows me access to my photos. I try to go to settings to allow access, but the app isn’t asking for permission in my settings. So I can’t even fix that. But I’m more concerned with the fact that I literally can’t get messenger to open unless I shut my phone off and on three or four times in a row. And when it does let me in, I know I have a limited amount of time before it does it again. It’s done this once before I few months back, and there was an update that fixed it and I had no more issues until recently. So I keep looking on here for an update, but haven’t seen one yet- so I’m curious if it’s just my phone specifically or if it’s the app itself. Either way it’s extremely irritating especially when it’s the main (and basically only) way that I communicate with people. And now I can’t even do that. It’s extremely frustrating to just continuously be kicked out of the app for no apparent reason. Please fix this.. more -
May 3, 2022 By Steven KLight on resources, light on features. When someone sends any link, it first opens through a Facebook tracking link before going to what the link actually is. Because I have the Facebook domain blocked during the day, I can't open any other links people send me because Facebook tracks every single thing you do, even if it doesn't directly involve them. There's no option to copy the message when there's a thumbnail from the link so you can't copy and paste the link directly. more -
Retrieve those important features on Messenger
Jun 10, 2022 By albertczzzzI noticed that a few useful features on Facebook and Messenger were removed these days. (1) The new update to bury the buyer’s profile icon from an order is disappointing and useless. (2)The notification of receiving orders from Messenger now is gone. (3)Messages from potential buyers on Messenger automatically disappear after turning off the app (or after a particular amount of offline time.) As a seller, I always reach out to my buyers for delivery of their packages and, at least, say thank you for their purchase. Now these important features, both online and on the app, were buried so that there’s no way to contact my buyers for that or for any shipping issues involving the orders, if that could possibly happen. Now the only way for me to contact my buyers is to raise a new conversation by typing their full names and looking into their profile images for recognizing if they’re the right person. But the problem is that the new message may or may not been seen by the buyer in time, because I’m not a friend of the buyer to raise the conversation, and the message may be treated as spam message and has notification to the buyer at all. I’m looking forward to getting those useful, important features back on Marketplace/ Messenger. more -
Scammers n Messenger
Jul 24, 2022 By wtracy229I would like everyone to know that these iPhones can be mirrored if your being scammed by ignorant scammers threw messenger by way of two authentication factors if txt messages are highlighted/clicked on their phones and no one NOT even Verizon WARNED anybody of this. My phone has been hacked I was locked out of my Facebook page an ALL the messages the hacker sent me threw messenger was deleted and locked messenger all in one. I was scammed out of over $700 and my phone showed me another device was connected to my phone ALL my Family and Friends in my CONTACT LIST were contacted by these hackers using my photo making them think they were me. This is a sad situation cause I’m ONLY live off Disability born disable little money with 2 children that needs my help. I’m totally upset with VERIZON if I had Not had a brain surgery last month maybe I had a chance of seeing this was a Scam but my thinking is slower right now. Verizon need to have it where your passwords can ONLY be changed on the device you created it on. STOP THESE SCAMMERS AND SEND THEM TO PRISON ASAP. These ppl sits around and think of how to take from the poor ppl ALL DAY. more -
Absolute garbage
May 23, 2021 By 3orknoozPoliticized and only supports their own benefits by stealing our info for free and selling it for millions. They restrict you for speaking what you believe and force you to see what you don’t believe and what you’re not interested in. Their what’s so called community guidelines are generic, and kindergarten level. You won’t be able to say a swear word even in a closed group as a fricking joke. So be formal cuz that’s what the alien wants you to be. If you wanna restrict specific people from accessing certain content, why don’t you add a pop-up consent for 18+ content, sensitive imagery/ text, etc? Last but not least, the most recent ban for Palestine supporters and the obvious support to the Zionist occupation is just so full of it! We know that the alien is a huge supporter of these oppressors but these are own personal accounts and you make money from our use of it, you don’t get to dictate to us what we should say or believe! I really hate that many things are now attached to this app but sooner or later, with the technological growth, there will be a better and more convenient fair options! more -
Rude employee
Jul 19, 2022 By Chapala22My wife and I were in CB for some lunch. The older man host was very rude to us telling us to move out of way that we were blocking the entrance to the restaurant. We were told it was a 15 minute wait but we waited 50 minutes. The older man said You should know when you come here you will have to wait. I saw 2 cashiers waiting with nothing to do. 3 ladies in the front of the store just walking around. Trying to stop the thieves I guess. 3 employees at the podium to seat guests, with 1 poor guy to clean tables WOW. Little excessive to me. YOU Need to focus on our elderly and have an area where they can sit. Outside is not the answer Too uncomfortable for them. An elderly couple with canes had to stand for nearly an hour. Shame on you. Totally unacceptable !! As for your merchandise, that is not why we visit. It is the food. Store manager should put employees where they need them If you can’t find employees then CB is doing the wrong thing. Pay your employees a decent wage and you would not have staffing problems. CB made MILLIONS last year. I know I won’t get a reply because that is the way CB is. more -
Apr 27, 2019 By A Google userI use this in order to avoid the bloat of the main app. However, recently it seems that pictures in messages don't appear, instead only showing a file name. When you click it, it asks to download, but confirming does nothing. I'm entirely unable to see pictures now, which only bugs my friends using the full messenger app further. Not being able to see reactions is also a PITA. I'd love to migrate off Facebook entirely if I were able. more -
Mar 6, 2019 By A Google userI thought initially it was good. But you can't send videos or even short clips of videos. Most of the time I can't send photos because it randomly doesn't show an option for photos. Also, notifications don't work. Now, it is showing i have 18 messages in notifications. i have none. On my other account it shows i have 5 messages and i have none. time to find a new app.. i don't recommend it. more
