Rae Eu ,

Messenger is great and can even be greater!

Messenger used to register complete dates right after messages are sent other than the time sent but no longer now since about 2 years ago. Dates are very important especially when messages are being screenshot and made as reference right on the day messages are sent.

I think photos being sent in the old format back then where you can right away see or browse the photos sent is way better than the recent new way of sending photos.

Thanks very much for your great service Messenger! We salute you!

Good

There’s a wonderful feeling of discovery in the first half of The Messenger, as every new level introduces new challenges, upgrades, enemies, boss fights, and even new conversations with the delightful shopkeeper, who regularly regales you with entertaining stories, thought-provoking philosophy, and elaborate jokes. Every time I saw that the Shopkeeper had something new to say it felt like a reward. When you’re fully geared up and The Messenger is hitting you with brand new stages and challenges that you haven’t seen before, The Messenger is an amazing, must-play experience. Taken as a whole, it’s brought down only by fetch quests that make The Messenger last several hours longer than it feels like it should.

PLEASE READ, TEAM!

Dear Team, firstly, the last update made Messenger laggier, and it's worth to monitor the span of compatibility for each update. You know many small updates are as good and safe as the crazy ones. Mainly, VERY SIMPLE, let us restore Removed For You messages at least after the update! You know accidents can and do happen by you, and others like siblings especially hackers; it’s best to max the minimum if it makes sense what hackers can do amongst you. This ONLY in fact is what I and prob others care or actually didn’t know we would. Kind regards, user.

EDIT: the end-to-end sht is more on bs btw like if someone hacks in a different device and uses your account some messages will only be seen by them which could endanger me and others and maybe everyone in the next mass hacker event!
