This app is barely functional. As we speak, my Messages web app shows that "Your messages are syncing/86,535 messages are backed up" for the past three days. I suspect it will never end... some have reported it going on for months. My messages web app cannot see my phone messages and vice versa. I have cleared my cache, cleared my data, reinstalled the app 3 times. This is my fifth attempt to sync messages and I'm not sure I will do a sixth, as that makes me unable to receive messages entirely on either phone or web. A completely inferior app to Hangouts except maybe the UI is a little prettier. I do not understand why they decided to sunset Hangouts in favor of this half-baked, half-built software. EDIT: I forgot to mention that I have literally watched sent messages. I sent them in the Android app, looked for them in web app, saw the preview, clicked on them, they were gone. Same exact steps happed in android app. No recovery. Gone forever. I cannot have a Messages app that deletes messages inexplicably.
