    @GaribaldoValdez WhatsApp being down is the kicker for me. Can’t call or text family/friends overseas who don’t have iPhones and I can’t tell them to use another app cause FB messenger is down 🙃.

  • ultimatellama レベッカ ☘️🏹 (@ultimatellama) reported

    There are so many people who I can only contact via Facebook messenger and it feels so weird not talking to them while everything is down. As soon as it’s back up I’m asking everyone for their phone numbers so I can old school text them if this happens again.

    @jinjah_xo More people are using fb messenger and what’s up rather than having a phone bill - just need internet for that service rather than a phone bill so maybe it’s a disruption? - stay tuned in the next episode of dragon ball Z

    Tested it. Seems like FB Messenger’s joined the rest of them in being down. And out? Would be kinda weird if Facebook were just suddenly wiped off the face of the Internet.
