Hey! Your app is great.There is a couple of things i miss in this app and want to see which might improve it. 1) "Time of calls in chat". Your app doesn't show in chat when I made the call or when i received it, it just shows the time period of call. As the time of missed calls is always mentioned, time for calls should be mentioned as well. 2) "Option of clicking your video" so that you can see your video on big screen and tap to focus when you're trying to show something from back camera. This feature is on another app and sometimes it is very useful, believe me.

I can't begin to tell you how much I hate this app! I deleted it once because I needed space on my phone for something. After I added it and tried to use it, the app never fully loads. I can't access my Facebook messages at all, because even though I downloaded this app, my phone won't recognize this. Why does this app have to be connected to the Facebook app? There's no other option, I can't even see my messages. >:(

The Android app keeps crashing and logging me out every day. Constantly having to log back in destroys the convenience of the Messenger app. Please take off the camera button and the Daily Stories or whatever that feature is that appears when I accidentally swipe down (OR at least give the option to turn them off). Messenger was great when it was a simple app for just plain exchanging messages with simply games to play with friends.

This app rarely works right. Many times, I don't receive messages or notifications when someone sends me a message or picture. It is useless. When I send someone a message, they sometimes don't get it or even see that I sent it. It won't even show received or delivered to them on my end. This app needs a lot of work and updates with reliability, notifications, and messaging. Update 3/17-I hear the notification ding and messages aren't appearing. It still does not work right. Not user friendly at all and doesn't work right.

This app doesn't show the persons who are active. It always shows loading conversation. Please keep a team for replying so that we can understand that u take care of your users. Group video call is just the worst. I can't see my friends, it was too blurry, even i can't heard their voice clearly it was like i am talking to a alien.It always shows connecting but it doesn't. It takes more than minutes to load gif. Please improve.

ETA: If I wanted to "add to my damn day" I would have downloaded Snapchat to begin with. The incessant reminders are obnoxiously annoying. /Original review: It is absolutely shameful that I have to install the messenger app that I DO NOT WANT just to get rid of the notification icon on my Facebook app. SHAME ON YOU! Your users deserve better treatment.
Very fast, reliable and trustworthy messanger app. Brilliant it has games within the message app but some games don't load. Maybe it's my phone (which is bush spiria C4) or my network provider (giffgaff) but shouldn't it be compatible for either brand of phones or network provider? Either way it's a firm 5 but definitely can be improved with games and more options for messaging as well.
This app sucks same as facebook app italways requires every week for an update. Mostly user of Messenger and Facebook dont need further updates every week. This must be need to change the roitine of update every once in a two months to make it some user that tge updates are not junk anyways. Hope Facebook App and Messenger App would try with my suggestion. Too much space to use on phone memory and Ram.
Fb is reacting to Snapchat, like Google reacted to fb all those years ago with Google+ Why cant I turn off the "my day" junk? My grandma and I used to talk with each other using this app, now it confuses the hell out of her and she can't use it anymore.
Good 4 messages that are private. Getting better. Plenty of Stickers. I love that Messenger has added more floating flowers plus many other stickers, TY! Please Fix the on/off button as It's Way to close to send! Overall I like your New changes & features! Would you consider to Please move Send buttons & Camera. Fix please this, Thanks.
I only re-downloaded this junk to give a bad review. Why do you need a seperate app to msg? Used to be all in one. Not to mention it constantly says I have a msg only to open the app to no msg. Complete garbage. Deleting this app, along with the FB app itself. Will check on my computer once in a while if I feel like it. Im done....
So I've never had a problem with messenger until recently. I'm getting delays in messages (for example: I received a message around 4:30 but it was actually sent around 3:30) and it keeps saying I have an unread message even when I don't. I'm reading messages but it keeps popping up saying it's unread. Every time I click read, it shows as unread again. Even if I sent the message, it's showing that I haven't read it. I've never ever had any problems until recently and now I'm about to go crazy. It's been updated since this started and still isn't fixed.
Since I HAVE to have access to customers via chat and mobile I have to use this crappy app since FB mobile won't let you access messages. Yet I get no new notifications (and they are set up) and when I send a message it tells me I have a new message. I don't need to know how anyone's day is in messenger that's what FB is for. Isn't this FB messenger? Why do I need double status options. Fix it, I'm tired of this. Glad it's free.
I want a simple messenger like you still see in the preview picturers on this app page. Not those annoying as hell extra features like that stupid selfie-button and "Messenger day/add to your day" bullshit, that clutter the contact list. If I wanted those I'll use Snapchat and Instagram apps... time to look for an alternative.
There are too many updates with this app and it is a waste of my data. And looking at the other reviews the powers that be at Messenger don't care what their customers think. I am almost about to delete this app but can't read the messages through fb which is stupid. Please look at the reviews and fix the problems.
This is a great app! I can keep up with all of my messages. However, there are a couple problems. 1. When I select the Camera from this app, everything freezes. I have to turn off my screen and turn it back on to use my tablet again. 2. I can't send recorded messages to my friends. No matter how long I hold the record button, nothing gets recorded. And 3. I can't listen to any voice messages. It plays like the first millisecond, then cuts off and crashes Messenger. Fix these 3 problems, and I'll turn my 2 stars to a 5.
It's so bad now. Every update more annoying than the last. Used to be great because everyone had it but now it has "my day" at the top of the list and you can't get rid of it no matter how much you don't care about it. Facebook, stop making messenger into Snapchat or at least let us turn that crap off so we can reclaim our screen space with stuff we care about.
Why 2 app when there was one that could the job of the 2? Stupid as always, since it takes more memory, more resources, use more battery and much more. Interface is not userfriendly. Sms should be disable. I dont want fb to see them!!! Also new day features is a bloat. Please allow us to hide this crap
Can I suggest? I REALLY LOVE THIS APP but my always problem is that I can't send a file. File like PowerPoint presentation that I made from my phone or even a file from Microsoft Word. I HOPE YOU COULD CONSIDER MY IDEA CAUSE EVEN MY FRIENDS has a problem sending files
Right now it is annoying the hell out of me, especially because the voice recording won't work 2/3 or even 3/4 times. The point is that it's meant to be quick and easy. If Ichave to rerecord the same message 3 times it's pointless because it takes as long as typing a damn paragraph
This is the most annoying and intrusive app ever. There was nothing wrong with way we received private messages on Facebook before. My phone already has a messaging app that I use and prefer because I control it. I don't want people to be able to call me from Facebook or have unlimited access to me.
Why are all these updates necessary? It's not updating nothing and using data for no good reason. And I can view my texts on my phone just fine no need for Facebook to get involved. The app is annoying and quite frankly is ripping off other apps like snap chat and tango. Put things back like they were. If I could give negative stars I would.
this app consumes massive space on androids 4.2 below. i hate how you guys update this app almost every week and there's nothing really changed. this app requires really good internet connection to access video call. and when you're there, its so blurry. you cant even tell how you're caller looks like or what he/she's doing. the only this i like with this is that you can read messages without opening Facebook but man! even on Facebook app you require this app just to open the inbox and i really hate it.!
Could be a 5 stars app. Unfortunately, I can't text, make calls or receive incoming calls when WiFi is not available. Is this something that will be updated anytime soon? Don't like "Share days" at all - especially in the middle of my contacts. Can't refresh at all without always going into camera. I liked the older version's layout.
Every update they do just makes it more and more annoying. There is nothing I like about seeing a giant "ADD THIS TO YOUR DAY" button on every picture I send that I can't see it all without clicking on it. It doesn't need to be the all in one Swiss army app. I want it to send messages without the need for SMS mucking everything up. Throwing the kitchen sink at a single function app will kill this, and they're only making it sink faster.
Previous one was good. But when i swipe it down, it was supposed to be refreshed but that camera thing appears which i found it annoying. And again after i updated now i find it annoying too with those new features. And when i swipe it down, i can't even find the chats which i had in my previous days with my friends. Please fix this. Its getting annoying day by day. (Note 4, 6.0)
Huge invasion of privacy. Everything you type will be shared with those you least want to have it and potentially as public as these very reviews. Markey Mark sold us out for a chance to pretend he's got a legitimate shot at being a politician. Now, please excuse me while I message my drug dealer.
Endless huge updates, privacy issues, and more bloatware/shitware features by the day. I want to message people, not engage in some teenage snapchat rubbish. We know by now that Facebook and cuckerberg don't give a hoot what users want, they just shove it down their throats anyway.
App is very laggy at times especially when using chatheads or typing on chatheads. Animation also lags at times. I'm probably late on this- but I like the "Mark As Spam" feature which works for both groups and individual users. Nice gifs but some of it doesn't load. They still need to work on fixing spam calls.
This app is junk and it just keeps getting worse... I just wanna be able to message people and send pics/videos with out giving out my number. All that other crap is just a pain.... trying to be like snapchst and kik and it is making my phone lag really bad
Now paste is impossible. Pictures orientation is wrong if taken horizontally... But not being able to copy and paste website link is just a joke. I can't stop using messenger as I communicate with too many people via fb. Otherwise I would ditch this app! Update. It pastes now with new update. But wtf? You've changed everything else as well - and not for better I'm afraid. Please make messenger lite: for messages you know
Attempts to take over all messaging on your phone without permission. Yes, I'm quite sure I don't want you reading my SMS messages, Facebook, and I don't appreciate having to periodically check too see if Messenger has automatically given itself that permission. Again. I also don't like you trying to shove your new picture status thing down my throat. I don't want to use it, and I don't want to see a prompt to use it, perpetually. You are becoming as bad as Microsoft, with your strong arm tactics. Wake up before the backlash hits.
Please fix your application! I am having problems when it comes to video calling. My front camera is tad dark whilst video chatting. Did open other apps with video chat and it works fine. Don't know why its only in fb messenger where its pitch black.
When i want to go to a specific part in a video sent from others, i cant control the timeline. if i click on the time bar it closes the video and goes back to message section again. Also when you finish watching a video, you cant replay it unless you kill the app. This problem was issued by me at least 6 months ago.no progress.no reply.no update.as if no one cares. Samsung note4
I want to be able to view my old messages and check on old groups that may haven't been commented in awhile. Stop with all the crap like that share your day crap it's dumb. They put it on Facebook no need to do it on messenger as well.
Serously stop with the "my day" thing. It's everywhere and annoying. It's invasive and in my way and I cant get rid of it. If you want to have it on there MAKE IT OPTIONAL. 1 STAR UNTIL ITS GONE! ** great now with the new update its at the top ALWAYS.😬
Why did you need to copy Snapchat features to messenger? First Instagram stories (which I actually like), then Whatsapp Status and now Messenger Day. Facebook needs to set its mind on what functionality should be in which apps. There is no need to cram everything in one app. Fix this or at least add an option to completely turn it off.
The app is awful so I started using Facebook trough the mobile browser. Now, for some reason everytime I open my messages in the browser Facebook redirects me to the download page in Google Play. Incredibly annoying. Now I have to close down a pop-up at least three times before being able to read or write anything. What's the point of this? I'm not going to download messenger anyway so you're just making it harder for me to use your service the way that works best for me. Way to go!
Besides rampant connectivity issues, this app has a metric f*ckton of problems. Frequent crashes, camera not being recognized because it's "opened in another app" (it's not), and NOW STORIES! Another Snapchat wannabe. Just stick to what you know, dudes. Also, a setting to turn off calling would be fantastic. It's too easy to hit that call button on accident.
