Hello folks. I don't post much on this list. But I aggree with Stacy. This app is not as accessable as the other versons of Messenger. It works ok. But not that great. For example, I was trying to messege a friend who I haven't writen to in a while. I kept flicking to the right on the screen. It kept getting me gack to the begining of the people I messaged. In fact, I belive once I flicked on to the last person who I messaged. The app braught me back to the top. what I had to do is go to the tabs at the bottem. Then I had to flick to the left and I was able to find others I have messaged in recent times. it does work with Voice-over. But not like it has in the past.
