Used to be a great appHaven’t been able to use the app in about a week right after my messages start loading the app freezes one day the app works next day it doesn’t

Decent Texting App, Now One of the WorstCan’t even log in anymore. Audacity to ask for a subscription when the app doesn’t even work properly. Maybe make sure it’s functioning before asking people for money. Get real.

WhySo no more live stream option ?
