★☆☆☆☆ Anwar · Oct 9, 2026

I am facing app disruption after the lastest update. The user I want to send message is showing up in following and followers but I am unable to send message to that user. It's showing "couldn't start chat, account has no key packages". When other user sent message, I am get notification of their message, but I couldn't see their message or anything inside the app. Hence, the latest update is messing with functionality, and also it's making app unusable. Email already sent two day ago. No response.

6/12/26 Won't load after stating "starting a secure Dust Session". Already sent email to support. Update: 6/22/26 still haven't received a response from support. Might as well as remove the app. Rating: 0/5
