Ever since they added the voice message microphone in the same exact position where the send button is and just above where I do voice to text with the same exact icon this app is ridiculously frustrating from accidental presses every time I use it. It also causes breaks in sending messages where things get locked in sending status. There's no way to move it. It asked me if I wanted to try it out but there's no way to disable it. Thanks a lot Google.

I find most of the app intuitive enough, but it's made largely awkward by "threads". These make the list of conversations hard to look at, and to find the main conversation. And I wind up accidentally replying to threads instead. WhatsApp has a far better solution by simply showing the message you've replied to above the one you sent, without duplicating your chat a bunch of times into separate chat windows. Threads are a poor user experience, and many people have said they should be scrapped.

I would very much appreciate having the option to get a sound notification for every single message again. When a new message arrives, I get a sound notification. So long as that message remains unread, I will never get another sound notification for any subsequent messages from that person. So if I miss the notification triggered by the first message, there's no way for me to know that that person is messaging me until I happen to see it when I look at my screen.
