Why are you changing all your designs? You had a great layout, great colouring and great colour blocking. And suddenly you change it all and it becomes a nightmare in white and you can't see where something ends and other things begin. Everyone liked the old design with the dark green. It was user friendly. The new version is not. I can live with the new layout. But the new design is bad and looks so weird and makes it harder to deal with the App, please change it back, old looked better

I resent having to use this app at all, but even more than its market share I resent that every update seemingly makes it more annoying, ugly or bug-y. Runs well except for the seemingly random times where it completely dies on you, and gives you practically no control over privacy or appearance. If you have to switch devices kiss goodbye to your chat logs if you're unlucky. Bew features occasionally clearly copy better but smaller messaging apps. All in all a prime example of enshittification.

Why couldn't they keep the green theme? At least as an option? Now I have to choose between eye-strain white light theme (my screen brightness is turned down to the absolute minumum and it still burns) or fall asleep deep grey dark theme. I hate this. The green was perfectly fine and easy on the eyes. Just a hint dearest app devellopers of the modern internet: your apps really do not have to look exactly like everything else. Uniqueness is a good thing.
