    @kamiAnnDavis4 @mmelodyHope5 something strange is going on with facebook messenger. I can get messages but can't gget at the chat rooms to read or resp to fix it but if I can't, I'll be at the webinar tonight. Could be facebook wide, I'm unsure

  • AbstraitWolf Personally Without A Heart (@AbstraitWolf) reported

    Regardless, hopefully that won’t be an issue now. It’s obnoxious trying to Facebook messenger while pointing at a virtual keyboard to type.

  • BearNeccessitea Bear With Me (@BearNeccessitea) reported

    She ran over her phone's data already and has none til the end of the month. Mine hit its limit for high speed and is now only good enough for FB messenger (my feed won't refresh though) and Twitter. It's just ******* frustrating and I know it's a 1st world problem but UGH

  • Al123Big BigAl123 (@Al123Big) reported

    @SpiritAirlines I’ve spoken with customer service on the phone and Facebook Messenger and I’m getting no help. Next step, filing a complaint with DOJ for violation of ADA

    something seriously screwy is going on with facebook messenger. I can get new messages but cannot enter the chats they appear in. No flags or account punishments I know of can cause this. It's not an internet issue. Facebook issue?

  • nicole_stibbs Nicole Stibbs (@nicole_stibbs) reported

    @RoundRecords @janeyjane_g I haven't received an order that was sent out to me in September last year and am having trouble getting in touch via Round Records website and facebook messenger!!

  • Its_Mark_Watson Mark Watson (@Its_Mark_Watson) reported

    @sahilypatel Turning off notifications has been a massive help for me! Only use notifications for direct messages (text, WhatsApp, Facebook messenger etc) and calls. Everything else is turned off, most social media apps I don’t even have on my phone. So much happier!

  • benjaminagunnz benjamina gunnz (@benjaminagunnz) reported

    Companies are really using Facebook Messenger as their point of contact for customer service I hate the future

  • toodlepipette Kate Armitage (@toodlepipette) reported

    Been chewed out by my mother on FB messenger for not wishing her husband a happy birthday even though I don't have him on Facebook or his number, and we don't have a relationship. And we have terrible history that I've been gaslighted about for 20 years. A grown mans birthday.

  • watsone836 It’s Just Too Much (@watsone836) reported

    @ThompDD19 Please take a look at my last post. I know you blocked me, so I’m not sure if you saw it. I sent it to you in Facebook messenger, too. I’ll take it down if you refund my money.

  • chris_bernados Chris Bernados (@chris_bernados) reported

    Im probably down to last 3GB in gigalife app. The app is not working so i cant renew my magic data. I have to conserve mobile data for viber vc or fb messenger for family. I still view all my notifications. If you know me, text or call me directly. Thanks.

  • patreeech que sera sera (@patreeech) reported

    @talk2GLOBE ‘s new appointment booking system is so ******! Even talking to customer service on FB Messenger is unhelpful. It’s like they don’t want to help customers! Just sell sims and wifi and get 5g but when customers need assistance “sorry globe can’t come to the phone rn”

  • RyGuy0793 Ryan (@RyGuy0793) reported

    @KingofKindnesss I received the messages over Facebook messenger. Out of respect of their privacy, I did not include their picture. It is fine if you choose not to believe me. The money was given to the family and they were very appreciative. I’m incredibly happy to have been able to help this

    @JoshuaB0011 @mastatoolz thanks but the only issue is how is it possible that FB messenger can still working without internet connection?

  • sayrinsipiey859 sayrin 🐘🤡🌷🕊️🐻🌿🦖⛰️ (@sayrinsipiey859) reported

    I tried to contact your Facebook messenger chatbot but it's still not working for me and it's always busy. PLEASE HAVE SOME DECENCY TO IMPROVE YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE. That's our MONEY for Pete's sake and your making it hard for us to process our refunds. Bullsh*t! @CebuPacificAir
