    WhatsApp & Facebook Messenger Delays An update has been posted We continue experiencing an issue with WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger messages. All messages are delayed, outbound messages may begin to fail once they are queued for 4 hours. Our engineers continue working on it

    I think today is a great example of why one company shouldn't own everything. FB bought Whatsapp a few years back and now owns two of the major online messaging systems-WA and FB messenger. And now they're both down

    @Stonekettle I can't even give you screenshots of all the harassment I received because I can't reach the FB messenger service. And honestly...I really don't want to see that vile talk again. It's a blessing to never have to seen threats of r*pe over and over and over in your inbox.

  • DxddyAioli I am at my limit (@DxddyAioli) reported
