Wish there was a way to disable lives. I have no interest in joining lives or going live. I just want it for messaging and these lives always pop up. It's so annoying. New edit 2/1/25: since the new update literally none of my messages get delivered when I send them. This messaging app is just obsolete. Instead of changing the look of the icons maybe spend some time making your app work. Bye.

I suddenly stopped receiving my messages. I would get a notification and then the messages weren't there when I went to check them and I couldn't send any messages in response to anyone so that they knew I was having a problem. It was suggested to uninstall and reinstall the app so that's what I did. Now I can't log back into my account or create a new one it keeps telling me to install the latest edition which I did or having problems with my email. Disappointed with this app.

App barely works as of now. Messages don't load unless the app is running in the background draining battery, so you have to load every single message sent by a person, one message at a time. Don't open the app for days? Sit there for a good 10 minutes playing catch-up. Also can't change your profile picture or banner without the app crashing on you, thanks Kik!
