MacBook issue

If I didn’t have to use this for work I would never touch it again. I have to delete and redownload this stupid app every time I close it. Which forces me to endlessly repeat the process or leave it running in the background 24/7

Just Delete This Already

The app is dead. You cannot login on the web, deleting your account within the app does nothing. Chats are not loading and there’s no end in sight. Just delete everything and let us move on
