Can't send or receive messages half the time, or don't get notifications of messages. Photo gallery empty when trying to send photos. If you take a photo in the app or manage to get one to come up through Google photos etc, nothing happens when you press send. The send button just turns white and then nothing sends. Notifications and permissions are on. S23.

I'm having the same issues as some other reviewers here, I can't even find the text box when responding to buyers on Facebook market, as it disappears and I can only choose one standard reply which I'm not happy to send. Also, every time for the last few months, when I type a few words the text box disappears and I can't even see what I'm typing anymore, just like other users are saying. I've got a 3 years old phone with Snapdragon 8 elite gen 2, so it shouldn't be a problem...

Please fix the pictures duplicating whenever they get sent. For example: when I try to send just 2 pictures, one of the pictures just gets replaced by the other picture. Like I send a picture of a cat and dog, but instead it gets sent as two pictures of the dog. It is really annoying especially when I have to send multiple pictures.
