Function wise, this app makes it more easier than other messeging apps. There's a lot of downsides however, for example as of recently when you make a story it auto crops the image to be 9:16. You can't change it to anything, if you try to use their useless square at the bottom left to adjust the aspect ratio it forces the image to be 9:16 otherwise. It's an annoying bug and is been happening for a few weeks now.

This app is horrible. I've followed all suggestions and it still won't make any sound when I get a text. Everything is on. Volume is up. Phone and app are set to sound. Nothing. I could deal with that I guess but there is so much else! Contacts are messed up. I can't find where to add photos and emojis. Maybe I'll adjust in time but why do I have to adjust? Why was a perfectly good app disabled in favor of this disaster? Give me back the old app. I'm not interested in this one!

A great app for messaging people, I mean that's what the app is for! Pictures, videos, messages send too! My problem is being alerted to when people are trying to message me. It's been happening a lot these last few months, I would have gotten a message 5 hours ago and then get a notification saying I got the message, then there's times where it just doesn't notify me at all.
