Like

1. Ease of use 2. Graphics and emoticons 3. Live messaging - easy to communicate with prospects

Like

It enhances my communication as I can communicate with anyone using messages, voice notes, photos and videos in real time. I get connected with multiple people around the globe without the need of a phone number.

Dislike

It sometimes slips through the spam messages and unknown contacts which I don't like. Also, I get a bit confused with the privacy settings.

Dislike

1. System crash - rare 2. Meta AI search has some glitches, but as with all things, AI tech is a work in progress. 3. Find a way to vet out imposters and scam artists

Dislike

I noticed it works in the background which drains a lot of battery and if I am in any group chat it sends a lot of notifications which causes a lot of noise.
