I've been having ongoing issues with the Messenger app, and it’s beyond frustrating. Notifications for messages aren’t working – I only see new messages when I actually open the app. Every time I open it, it says "connecting," which delays messages even further. Sometimes, messages won’t send at all, leaving me wondering if they even reached the other person. I initially thought this might be an issue with my phone, so I tried reinstalling the app, but it hasn’t made a difference. This problem

Sending messages hasn't been a problem yet, but receiving messages is. I get tired of having to reboot my phone all the time because this app has problems. So, this issue has been resolved, but now I don't receive notifications when I get a new message. Iit used pop up with a bubble. Nope not now, I literally have to click on the app to see if I have any new messages. I'm so done and over these stupid apps not functioning properly.

I'm pretty dissatisfied that I can't send a message using effects unless it's two words or less. As soon as you type the third word or add an emoji, the effects option disappears completely and is replaced with "enhance with meta AI." It's very annoying, and I hope this gets fixed. Also, AI stickers are extremely lame now.
