O app é muito bom, porém as mensagens estão muito atrasadas, eu não estou recebendo algumas mensagens da outra pessoa, elas não chegam pra mim, porém aparecem que foram enviadas, já fiz de tudo e nada resolve

Awful, disgusting community

This app is a community for child porn, pedophilia, and illegal activity’s. People use it for the wrong intent and apple needs to look into it. My experience with it has been horrendously negative, so much so that there’s derogatory ai images going around and I’m getting constant spam. This needs to be addressed asap apple.
