Includes meme creation and other fun features.
Some users still find it usable on certain devices.

Cons

Persistent login/signup problems and version update requirements.
Overbearing ads and monetization, including suspicious ads linked to malware.
Unfair or frequent bans with poor support.
Bots and scammers flooding chats with ineffective reporting.
Bugs, glitches, and an outdated, cluttered UI with reliability problems.

Recent reviews

infested with bots and management is not doing anything about it. I can only submit so many reports before they start multiplying seriously in numbers. can't enjoy this app as much as I used to. messaging is still good tho.
