End-to-end encryption (which was turned on without asking me) was not showing any messages I had been unknowingly receiving for over a week, possibly longer, because I logged in on different devices. None of these messages were stored in the backup either. It should be possible to opt out of this feature.

My messenger keeps freezing. And won't send texts, just says "sending" for hours, I've tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling, and clearing the cache, it's not helping for very long. I also try to set different tones for different people and it's not taking that either. It's fully up to date, and by this point I'm about to stop using the app entirely

The end-to-end encryption thing is not working in the slightest. Every time I try to click on the "reset pin", it makes me send a one-time code to one of my other devices. However, the code does not even go through to another device. The help section does not even work, no matter how many methods I tried. Messenger used to be an efficient app, but of course, the developers had to go and incorporate AI and end-to-end encryption. Fix this. If I could, I'd rate the app 0/10 stars. 👎
