The most recent update really messed up voice messages. They frequently freeze, won't open, or can't be interacted with at all. They stop playing entirely if you scroll too far in either direction, and they pause whenever the contact starts typing or sends a new message. The app occasionally closes when listening to one for seemingly no reason. It'll stop recording with no user input. It's frustrating, as there were no issues a few weeks ago.

I have had Facebook and the messenger app for years on end, But here recently I have not been able to send voice clips. I am able to record them, but I am not able to send them, which is a waste of time of me recording them. They disappear after failing to, I have reported this issue multiple times with no help, I am having a similar issue with sending videos and pictures. It takes it forever to send, if it sends it at all. It gives you no choice but to have end-to-end encryption applied

For the last 12 or so years, I would have given Messenger 4 or 5 stars. But it seems that recently, (last whole year.) Some of the features are not working right. If you share a video post to someone from FB news feed to a contact in messenger. The thumbnail has a gray tap to see post, and the link isn't working. So it's about a 50/50 success rate of the sent content actually going to the person you are sending it to. Same success rate when using the share then messenger option on gallery.
