facebook messenger, degraded audio/video call quality, code tron

[xraiderv1]

gonna cross post this on Imore.
-------

so, the past three days, me and a couple friends, all in different areas(one in kentucky, the other in canada, me in jersey) have all noticed degraded audio/video quality during facebook video/audio calls.

I've already run the universal troubleshooting playlist, starting with all of my devices(galaxy tab a 8.0 2019 sm-t290, iphone 8, iphone 6s plus, amazon fire hd10 2019) which included cache/data clearance, reinstalling the apps, in the case of my galaxy tab, nuclear option of factory reset(just for craps and giggles cause why not), on down to rebooting my home network.

speedtest shows warp speed levels on the testing(verizon gigspeed), so, bearing that in mind, I've ruled out devices, home networks, and software environments.

...any ideas? I'm at a complete loss here folks.

Maybe latest update for Facebook broke audio

you know when its tronning so badly its inspired jokes that its a clear problem ^^;

me and my friends have been using discord as a result.

I was going to suggest uninstalling updates to Android System Webview, but that wouldn't explain the problem on iPhones.

that was something I'd considered, and admittedly pessimestically dismissed as pointless given the two iphones are exhibiting the same problem.

That really points to a Facebook server issue, I think.

and even more credence to it being server side..everything's now cooperating. please excuse me while I go headdesk...tattle on it and it plays nice. go figure.
