Easy to use and just an amazing app to stay connected and share pictures and videos with everyone! EDIT: down to 1 star after update. Choosing photos to upload is horrible now! It doesn't show all my photos. The drop down menu to select the album sucks too. If I choose to see more, it only shows me 5 "collections" It used to be much easier before. I don't know why or how or who approved this but it sucks BAD.

Hate this app. I'm already in, and have been in several group chats, now all of a sudden it needs me to sync my contacts before I can proceed. I don't want to sync unwanted contacts to my app just to continue communicating with the people I've been communicating with for over a year now. I think these "app permissions" are more restricting than anything, almost as if to say, "Give us access to your entire phone's contents if you want to use our app" and I'm getting tired of it.

It was great until they forced stored contacts access. They're now forcing you to "share" your contacts with them to send pictures, etc to friends when it wasn't necessary before today, 11/9/25. no app needs your contacts to send anything...it should only need the phone number. I'm suspecting they're positioning themselves to sell people's data. So yeah, it was a great app that didn't need much but those days are over. Another bastion of privacy and security has fallen.
