Group Audio Calls

Since lockdown in many parts of the world. We mostly use group video and Audio calls via messenger in our mobile phones. It’s a really quite good and some times the quality audio need to be improved. We have a request here to increase the number of group audio calls only to more than 8 persons. Maybe to 12 or more persons. Can it be done?

Messenger bug

Hi, i have a concern regarding my messenger, it feels like there’s a bug and it’s been going on for a year. The notification at my Facebook keep displaying that i still have an unopened message despite I’ve scroll all the way down and opening each message, even deleted some but the notification won’t go away. I also have another problem that occurred lately and it is regarding my settings for the messenger notification. I have turned it off multiple times even in my setting but on the notifications & sounds setting, it still appear as “on”. I will be very much appreciated if you look through this matter as it is bothering me. Thank you so much for your time.

Hahaha nicknames mostly taken ,

Delete function still not improved

Delete function should give an option to tick certain messages for deleting n to delete messenger chat profiles of people we don't chat with.
Also please include recall message function in case we decide not to send the message.
And we need more privacy when we send a picture to a person privately yet other friends can see. Make it easier to set it so that others have no access to it. Presently quite confusing!
Stop creating updates that force us to share everything we post privately when we pm a friend!
