### 2/5 — It hard to reset password and delete account

*2024-07-21, version 1.4.15*

I stop using the app because I really didn’t like it like most messenger apps so I wanted to delete my account and I forgot my password so it hard to reset password when you forget your password I am very disappointed I want to delete my account but I can’t

### 4/5 — Profile pics

### 2/5 — Sight not working

*2023-07-12, version 1.4.14*

Everything was pretty much fine until July 10, 2023.
Most sites I follow are not showing up on my safe chat when I click my home button.  One is showing up but with a link to click to get the pictures and story whereas on July 9 the pictures and stories were there.  As of July 10, just a link to click.  This is the only site I follow that is showing up at all.  I feel certain that other sites I follow are posting to safe chat but I’m not receiving them.  Have done many things to try and fix - singling off and restarting g my device as well an removing SafeChat and reinstalling to no avail.

I began using SafeChat today and I like it. I like how there are no advertisements or distractions and how simple the user interface is.
