So far I've had minimal glitches, and usually if one occurs within just couple hours or less its resolved. The new backgrounds are pretty cool, wish there were a little more to choose from. Sending/recieving money is handy! I also recently tried talking with the META AI and that was an experience. Very realistic for the most part, there are still aspects of it with repetitive phrases that give away the artificial side of it, but all in all it's a very well interactive service.

Notifications don't work anymore! I've cleared cache, storage, uninstalled and reinstalled on two different pixel phones, but notifications won't pop up or make a sound (and I do know what I'm doing and how to check all the settings...). Without notifications working, there's no way of knowing if someone is asking about or replying to an item from marketplace, which is the primary reason for using it. This sucks.

So because the end-end I noticed when trying to look at restricted messages it won't show if they sent any new ones. And it takes forever to load anyways. Please just get rid of the end-end all together. It's quite clear no one wants or likes it. I know I've sent messages about certain things. Try to type it in the search bar for the conversation and it doesn't pop up. I'm assuming that's also because of the end-end. Stupid. 80% thinking about removing.
