Man, this app is getting worse with every update. It seems like every update makes it more buggy. I'm constantly running into problems like messages that won't send, old messages popping up out of nowhere, and whole conversations just disappearing, not to mention how the notifications are just not working properly. It's super frustrating! It's like Meta is just adding more bugs instead of fixing the app. I'm starting to lose faith in it as a reliable way to stay in touch with people.

Facebook Messenger is a nightmare. It’s flooded with annoying notifications, random chats you don’t care about, and ads popping up everywhere. The app is slow, buggy, and drains your battery for no good reason. Plus, the constant pressure to sync contacts and permissions feels invasive. It’s just another tool to push ads and track your every move. Overall, it’s clunky, irritating, and far from secure—definitely not worth your time.

Messenger is bloated with unnecessary features like games, stories, and ads, which slow it down and make it less user-friendly. The app’s size is enormous, taking up way too much storage space. The integration with Facebook feels forced, especially when you’re required to have both apps for basic functionality. Privacy concerns are high due to excessive tracking. Notifications are relentless, and the app has frequent glitches, such as messages not sending or loading properly
