Check mark not showing
Sarkar❤️
Dear Facebook Messenger team,I am writing to express my disappointment and frustration with the recent update to the iOS version of the app. I have noticed that there is no longer a check mark icon next to my messages, which makes it difficult to know whether or not my messages have been sent successfully.As someone who relies on Facebook Messenger for both personal and professional communication, this is a major issue for me. Without the check mark icon, I am left in the dark about whether or not my messages have been received by the intended recipient. This can lead to miscommunications and delays in important conversations.I understand that updates are necessary to improve the app's functionality and user experience, but this particular change has had a negative impact on my ability to use the app effectively. I strongly urge you to consider bringing back the check mark icon in a future update, as it is a crucial feature for ensuring successful communication through the app.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Sincerely,Abhay sharma
Check Mark & Chat Heads Not Working 😔
Azzzuuu
Hello ! Please bring back again checkmark symbols update. Its very difficult to check message. Whether its has been sending, sent, delivered to the recipient. In New update only see the receiver’s profile icon after the message is seen its to boring. Also while going (Search Conversation) into my old messages, it goes blank right after clicking on it. And there is no chat heads also. Messenger team can you please fix it. Thanks !!
