    Anyone know how to get customer service from @Ticketek_NZ ? I’ve tried email, Tweet, Twitter DM & Fb messenger - all to no avail.

    @MrFadedGlory @0liviajulianna Facebook Messenger is not WhatsApp. They are very different. WhatsApp is a direct connection between devices. Facebook Messenger has a service as an intermediary. Your messages go to a server where you access them

  • foxe2011 Emma Fox (@foxe2011) reported

    @Gowriggle disappointing service - no reply to phone messages, email or FB messenger! Computer ordered & paid for in May, school starts in 2 weeks … where is the computer? #frustrated

  • NoahFennell Noah Fennell (@NoahFennell) reported

    3) To delete a conversation in Facebook Messenger using the app, hold down your finger on the conversation and then tap "Delete." Confirm you want to delete the conversation to delete it permanently.

    @sdmelnick14 @ColinWork1 Hi there. Unfortunately there is an outage impacting the southern half of the province. Data is still working so you can place a call through apps (whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat etc). We are aware and working to resolve this outage asap. Thanks.

  • HoundsInsider Pete Florio (@HoundsInsider) reported

    Anyone else experiencing issues with @facebook messenger? Messages not sending, taking forever to send, always trying to connect to internet. It's odd.

  • whocareslindsey lindsey (@whocareslindsey) reported

    @MerriweatherSun @crookita @0liviajulianna I can confirm I lose the ability to make calls or send texts so I often hop on fb messenger to contact people. And I'm not like in the mountains just a ****** spot for service.

  • eanorv Ethan Norville 🚢 (@eanorv) reported

    @Nicolascole77 @neerajarora unfortunately, it's not that straightforward. fb messenger isn't encrypted like whatsapp is, and that's why it happened. it's not like the encryption was fake or inadequate as the post makes it seem. just trying to set things straight, but yeah they gotta fix this.

    @Moto760 @Android @Apple If most used FB messenger or a 3rd party app in the US for those situations instead of sticking to the default messages app this wouldn't have been a problem in the first place since they could use the same third-party app to chat with the 40% Android users in the US. That's huge

    Facebook messenger funnels can help you make more money when configured correctly because....

  • Nicoishuman Nico (@Nicoishuman) reported

    Time to uninstall @facebook messenger. They seem to have no problem giving out your “private” messages. Now a young women and her mother may face prison. That didn’t take long. #nebraska #RoeVWade

  • andianora andianora (@andianora) reported

    @PLDT_Cares Did you know that your fb messenger account is useless??? Everything you press there shows this service is no longer available!!! Ano ba yan!!!!

  • simonpack99 simon (@simonpack99) reported

    @motorolaUK Hi - I have an Edge 20 Pro thats works great apart from Whatsapp - if someone rings me the phone does not always ring - it might start ringing after say 10 secs or not at all. Sometimes it rings as expected. I don;t get this issue with facebook messenger.

  • Abi_Norton Abi (@Abi_Norton) reported

    @EurostarUK customer service is non-existant! 🤯 Website not working, no call center, online help is a bot, no response to email contact form, Twitter or Facebook Messenger! How am I supposed to change a booking?!?!?! 😡

  • Charl_short Charlotte Short (@Charl_short) reported

    Is there anyone active on the @AerLingus Facebook Messenger? An error on their website, 2 hours later and still no further - what a great wait to spoil the start of a holiday.

  • obsijian jcb (@obsijian) reported

    @ccclaudia8 @swallalisaa i didn't even know people still use whatsapp (because facebook messenger is our main messaging service here). apparently, it's also the most used instant messaging in india and brazil.

  • Yorky80 Tim York (@Yorky80) reported

    @farmerfrau @Eurostar Hi. I know your pain. Hopefully this will help. I tried using the contact forms (multiple times) and twitter (tweets and DMs) all with no success. However I did finally get to talk to someone via the Facebook Messenger app and they sorted my problems for me.

  • CorbetteAnna Anna Szafran-Corbette (@CorbetteAnna) reported

    @PLL_RBLX why no one reply to to messages on WhatsApp or Facebook messenger? I’m waiting for reply over a month😡 why give the options if you can’t provide good customer service?

    anyone else’s fb messenger not working? /gen srs i have to check if i have classes 😭

  • ItsTnt925 TNT925 (@ItsTnt925) reported

    @AndroidEducator @sondesix The problem with those is they all require the user to go out of their way to download and set them up. Most people in the US can’t be bothered to do this. Only reason FB messenger is so popular is because FB is so widely used. Even with all the privacy issues.

  • coffeejunkie3e Jilly Bean (@coffeejunkie3e) reported

    @enjoyGLOBE @talk2GLOBE I want a bill adjustment for the days I didn't have service. Why should I pay full price for a partially-renderer service? I reached out to your support via fb messenger but only getting robot responses.
