There's no save conversation or save all for pictures, and I'm not getting a notification at all now all of a sudden. It apparently also doesn't carry over conversations at all if you sign in on another device, which is stupid. Why is there not a select all with pictures to save? And why are conversations not all carried over if you download and sign onto something new? That's completely stupid. Edit: The fact that this chat app is over 13GB is insanely bad. Edit: 11/27/24 Chat not popping up.

Deleted my entire chat history when switching phones with NO WARNING. The website mentions how to backup but not the app itself. And I couldn't undo it to start a backup. I have literally never felt sicker than realizing all the messages to my partner have been deleted. This used to be my favorite app. Now it's a reminder that it was never properly programmed in the first place.

What is wrong with this app, I go to download it and it downloads then gets to 94% and starts all back over again, seriously, I previously had it installed and accidentally deleted it but now I'm not sure I want it back., 2024/11/4 edit, I backed up all my messages and data twice before switching to a new phone and it deleted my important message! I had messages from a passes loved one that I can't even get back!! This is unacceptable!! It kept messages from another friend but not them?!
