Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data. Data privacy and security practices may vary based on your use, region and age. The developer provided this information and may update it over time.
Nice app but could use "scheduled messages" to send a text later in the day. Also, move Favorites to a tab on it's own to easily find it instead of having to hunt around for that.... Also could use the ability to pin more (up to 8) conversations to the top... Ability to have photo albums shown in alphabetical order would be best for faster searching for photos to attach to conversations.

Almost perfect chat app. The pros: integration with existing contacts list. Breadth of options for messaging (voice, video, call, text, gift, emoji plus reactions). Quality of pictures and video shared and received. Ease of searching previously sent media. The cons: frequent backups. Lack of schedule send option. Extraneous features like status updates and communities. Lack of ability to send a message to multiple people without creating a new group.

I used to love this app, but recently got a new phone and it's been very difficult to use it. When get a call, my phone is ringing but to pick it up, have to open the app and look for the incoming call. tried to change it in the setting but with the curent software app doesn't allow pop-up notifications. Alsolused to be able turn off automatic download of the attachments, currently this operation is not available.
