Messenger sucks for Android, and iOS is better. I hate how when I turn off my phone, the call doesn't stay, but instead, it ends after a few seconds. Another issue is when I get off the app and on another, my calls end after a few seconds sometimes. Overall, video calls aren't as efficient and convenient because of it ending a lot in certain cases.

Update ruined it... you suddenly can't attach videos?? Then the whole group of photos stacked on top of each other - worst feature! I don't want to have to scroll through each picture and never know how many more and not be able to just select the one I want to enlarge. Super buggy and doesn't play videos half the time. Please undo everything you did in the latest update. Absolutely terrible.

I've been using Messenger for years. As with any app, each new version either improves on existing features and/or adds brand new ones. The face-time-like call ability is fabulous (especially when picking stuff up for someone and being able to show them quickly not only the item you grabbed, but all other similiar items instead of taking pics or trying to describe it). Being able to share stuff instead of posting to a FB page is great as well as its use w/ buying and/or selling on Marketplace.
