I wish I could turn off the 'updates' and 'communities' tabs as well as the aweful AI. I'll never use that garbage, so please just let me turn it off. I also wish that the chat backups were placed in a hidden folder. Currently my file manager app is cluttered with 'new' backups at the top of my list every day that have no business being there. Other than that, meh app.

Beautiful app for messaging and all, but the voice call and video call needs to b worked on massively. Now, about 2 months ago, I can no longer upload songs on my status, I can not even lace an image with a track and share. It keeps coming up with the same phrase. "Sharing failed, try again later." Why?! I've deleted cache, updated, and restarted my phone, everything, but it's still persists, and it's frustrating, ngl. Is it a device issue or what? it doesn't make sense. HOW DO YOU FIX IT?!

the sound of clicking and sending voice notes got activated automatically after an update and there is no way to turn it down. Me and thousands more are getting crazy on the Internet, there is no way to solve it!!!! I have had my phone on vibrate for many years, no joke, I haven't had the sound activated in years, and it still makes sounds. even if I put it in silence mode where everything is muted, it still makes these sounds!! conversation tones are off and the app still makes the sounds!!
