Very buggy, for many years. Just a few examples: - Reactions don't refresh while in chat, must leave chat to see updates - Links jump all up & down the page, giving the impression they were sent by other people - If I click on a pop-up notification immediately after I received it, it pops up again a few seconds later, and repeats until I let it sit for a minute or 2. - Messages often say failed to send, so I try again, and it shows up twice. So many more examples, ran out of available characters

1 star, the UI in the app looks great but is often slow to refresh. I often miss messages, calls, and notifications. sometimes they pop up, most of the time, they don't and I have to manually go in and check them. Which is not good when you are trying to use this app to talk to you employer and supervisors and it doesn't give you updates, I forget and them all of a sudden I missed two dozen messages about work in 24 hours.

1. The notifications haven't been fixed in two yeara. Tapping on it doesn't take you to the thread, but whatever group was last open. You have to manually go to the topic. 2. No notification customization for topics. It just picks whatever it wants. It doesn't even follow the parent group. 3. YouTube links just stopped working this year and it errors out. 4. They just "added" an edit message feature which was in the app for years then it disappeared this year and has now shown up again.

What’s new

- Profiles just got an upgrade! You can add your interests, pick a song highlight, and share photos in your profile.
- Events have an improved design with subtle blur effects and a polished layout. You can now choose from built-in banner images, search for GIFs, or find the perfect image with search.
- We’re starting to roll out a new media upload system to make sharing photos and videos more reliable, and smoother. You’ll soon see clear upload progress, along with easy retry and cancel options.
