Why limitations
Coming from the days when teenagers would tie up the family phone line for hours - just sitting on the line w your bestieone who you just spent most of ur day at schoolyou get chores done-homework complete & sit on the phone for the rest of the night - not saying much of anything-The only way anyone else might get thru would be a Emergency Breakthrough- Additionally if the person who made the call is outside of the others city limit- well that call is going to COST YOU.! We’ll cost your parent paying the mo. bill - While today … we get on iMessenger & ⏰talk for hours with out any long distance fees! Imagine the money spent on Long-Distance and let me tell you … it was never cheap..! So when ask for a review or to critique my 1.56hr. conversation- It was splendid 📱🎖️To imagine the savings well … i’d take a high phone bill vs. all the added modern conveniences the internet has brought us - The trade off - well there isn’t one - but communicating w a friend across the pond for hours at no additional cost is one positive perk and wonder just how long it’ll last-They soon will figure out a way to take more for the lil they already got for free and we the consumer will roll over since we don’t have a choice !

You guys are the best I can type in someone’s name and all I have to do is put family abbreviated and old people and oh my goodness there’s so many people in the world that kinda have the same namesbut you guys are giving the descriptions of each variety and all the names this computer system is absolutely beautiful and amazing. I found so many of my family members that I have lost contact with over the years. I have a 20-year-old daughter 16-year-old son 12-year-old son 14-year-old son nine-year-old son and a four-year-old son I have a lot of children. My time is really tied up in these last 25 years over 25 years. I’ve been working and just not had the time I love it. This thing is so beautiful within 15 minutes. I can contact four of my family members and people and my day is so much better. I love this system. I love this how it works you guys. I don’t know how you do it but your computer system your relationship system is absolutely beautiful thank you and God bless and Godspeed to you all. I hope you get all these hackers and able to rejoin and just be a communication device. That’s all it is Thank you and God bless.

Poor Ethics

I have always hated the app from the moment i downloaded itit is so frustrating to use and completely unnecessary as any other social media has a messaging tab already installed. i find it interesting that you NEED it to message people through FBig another way to profit off of and it makes it easier to grasp more people’s data through conversations. However I’m deleting for many other reasons. Far right censorship with Meta is absolutely bonkers among far more. Opened my eyes to it growing up with facebook and hearing for years about the fact Meta has been in multiple legal suits for foreign corruptionbias news involvementselling data abroad and yet they were still so greatly popular. Can’t get around using instagramfacebookmessenger or any meta products anymore due to the lack of care for the users securitythe users data leaks and data being sold internationallyand far right bias censoring of media. This is the one app that has the most security breaches of ANY app i have ever downloaded. I will not continue to give you any engagementscrolls or any space on my phone. I hope you’re able to find the ethics you’ve lacked for so longI feel guilty for not deleting sooner.
