After the latest update, or somewhere in between, the app has slowed down TREMENDOUSLY, and it is not my internet. i can read, stream, use whatsapp, and everything else on my internet except use this app efficiently. It freezes, becomes blank, does not send my messages, and does not receive messages properly. Sometimes it takes up to 15 minutes for messenger to catch up to what people send me. Also, all the Ai options should be optional since I think that's what slows my app down.

I miss Message+... I'd give this app more stars, but they'd have to update it! I can't select multiple messages and delete them. Instead, I have to go one by one. 🙄 Plus, searching for specific messages is another pain in the rear. For example... If I was searching for one saying 'her address is 123 4th Street' to find a friend's address that I'd forgot to add to her contact, I'll get highlights for maybe 5 messages, but it won't show me where they are. 😒 Bring back Message+!
