Come a long way, since 2011, but... BUGS! Ex... The 'tools pop up' (right click when composing), doesn't appear where I am in the message. Happened many times. But, I scrolled up to the top of one, to read it from the start, and that's where the pop up was! Also, when editing, using 'Back' to delete, sometimes makes the text start a new paragraph, mid-sentence. The only way to fix it is to overwrite the entire message. (If you're OCD, this will bug you!) They need to add more editing options.

Great! But... Wish Android users could have a more stable connection when Audio/Video calls. Also, Apple user have "Hand Gesture" Emojis/Effects. If your like me where I make 48hr phone calls, within the first hour an Echo happens on both parties. Very Useful for connecting to family and friends. Just some minor bug issues that I wanted to explain.

Videos stop before finishing. The back button doesn't take you back to the chat, it takes you to FB. Very annoying. You can't comment on individual pictures that are posted in a group of pics. Our family has used this app for a decade to keep in touch with each other. These problems only developed in the last year.
