Doesn't work. I am trying to open on a new device (Pixel 10) but the interface gets stuck. it prompts me to use a code to unlock Secure Storage, which I cannot receive since I no longer have my old device where the code gets sent. The interface does not let me navigate away from this prompt, and there is no way to access the menu or setting to turn Secure Storage off. I therefore cannot use the app.

18/10 Hoped updating the app would sort some of the issues out but nope. Back button no longer works to minimise app or chats. So frustrating. Since getting an S25, messenger doesn't seem to work properly any more. Messages don't come through and also don't send. Notifications don't always work and I keep having to restart my phone. Not sure what the issue is but it seems to be common going off these reviews. Sort it out please Meta!!!!

What's the point of the feedback option when a call ends if it disappears after a short sentence mid-typing? Anyways, video quality is god-awful, I can barely see anything the other persons camera shows. Audio quality's also extremely poor. Constant cutting out. Both myself and the person on the other ends audio is constantly cutting out randomly and we have to keep repeating ourselves. Lastly, lots of buffering and disconnecting that other video calling apps don't have. Almost unusable, thanks.
