Every Snapchat I send with any typed text overlay from my Samsung Fold 5 is rendered unreadable. The text overlay is always 50% cutoff on one side the viewer's screen even if I perfectly centered it prior to sending. I was hoping for an update to fix this, but it has been this way for years. Pretty foolish for a company this large to drag their feet with any issues Android users face.

The app has been great so far. I just have one complaint. The audio icon which was used to mute videos before is no longer available. For , the app would be very great if it could be put back. Some of us don't like adding a song to our videos. Some of us don't also want to hear the original audio of the video. Hence, why the mute icon is very necessary.

The app does what it has always done and does it well. A lot has changed since it came out. However, the discover stuff that appears underneath your friends' stories becomes more and more insufferable every day. From pseudoscientific videos to outright softcore po**, I get their "creators" have to appeal to the lowest denominator, but a sizeable majority of them are borderline braindead. I don't want to see this garbage. The algorithm then refuses to follow your suggestions.
