Ratings and Reviews
See AllJust a humble suggestion
This app is great actually. I’ve been using it for communication often. Been using it for years. My only concern ‘bout this right now is that can you somehow make the end-to-end encryption feature be exclusive just for those who are in professional mode, seller accounts, and accounts who often shares confidential informations? Or maybe make it optional. Because I think its purpose is good for protecting the accounts that is used for any transactions or business related stuffs. I kinda want the former versions of the app that I don’t need to input passwords to access chat history or conversations with my loved ones. For ordinary accounts, the features of secret conversation in the former version of this app would be enough to send something discreetly or confidential. The “low storage mode” which can delete the messages beyond 90 days if the storage run out is a bit disturbing (for me). ‘Cause what if the phone broke or went missing then that means I can’t be able to access my chat histories if I get a new phone, right? I hope the developer/s would consider.
meh
it was meh, i dont really prefer it, if u dont have or dont know how to change ur icloud, since my messages was synced for like 2 months and i couldnt still get it back. i needed to change my icloud, but didint want to, nor to give a mobile number, it is good for communication but it might be a hassle to get problems with the syncing, i needed to delete messenger over 8 times, a week lol. Cause it would stop syncing that way, But it was such a hassle to do, since i have schools, as a grade 8 , it was very hard to use with all that syncing. My icloud couldnt work for some days cause of that sync , Although, the stuff, calls, are great quality, but dont recommend if you have anger issues, i couldnt chat my father, mother, family, for some days, it was so hard, so i used discord, its another app, that doesnt need syncing, you also need to be very careful with fb connected to messenger ( facebook ) there are alot of sites will lead to being hacked, deleted, and many more, that happened to me actually, 🙏 But please do NOT put ur personal information if someones asking on fb to,! well , there are some impostor’s in fb too, i got hacked for giving my number to my cash, asking of my family member, that family member seemed to be hacked, so someone asked, if i can have it? due to some issues blah blah, but the quality was good, nice, i dont really recommend for now, 💕 but lovely app ( sometimes )
Suggestion for your end-to-end feature
I really love the purpose of the app, especially in terms of communication. Only one thing frustrates me the most is the end-to-end encryption feature. I actually got my phone fixed, and when I tried to reinstall apps, including messenger, I wasn’t able to retrieve all of the old messages I had with different people. Unfortunately including all of the important ones OH NOOOO! 🥲 That is why I am hopeful that this feature will have better modifications, considering this kind of circumstances like mine can cause problems both personally and professionally. I highly agree with one review here that this must be only exclusive for meta business or for the online sellers. Taking note that they are the ones who have the most sensitive transactions. OR you can just add a “forgot password” feature for end-to-end encryption, where email or phone number are options to verify the changes. It must also be optional… I remember when it became effective, I do not have any choice but to agree with the one time password/pin for end-to-end encryption. I didn’t had the alternative to say “no” “I don’t agree with this.” I am really stressed, I need to retrieve the important messages I had, but I can’t. I hope you can improve this. 😭
