  • sylviaadamross Sylvia Chrobak (@sylviaadamross) reported

    @RelianceCares Furnace died 12 hours ago - house has no heat in -35C YEG weather. Called at least 10 x looking for updates - agents are either misleading or confused why a tech didn’t show last night. Tried FB Messenger and every number online - no results! HELP! #RelianceComfort

  • X13Stefan Stefan_x13 (@X13Stefan) reported

  • lambells Salt Dragon (@lambells) reported

    @maiderbee American here. Never used WhatsApp before in my life (in fact I don't think I'd ever heard of it until the day it was down several months ago) I almost exclusively use FB Messenger and I even route my texts through it.

    Down FB Messenger no?

  • azzamelion123 Aaron (@azzamelion123) reported

    @DHLParcelUK Worst customer service ever, never answer the phone and on the website tells you to use Facebook messenger or Twitter and they never respond to that either. Been waiting 2 weeks for a level to be collected and still not been picked up. Shocking company avoid!!!

  • chgillette Candace Gillette (@chgillette) reported

    @WestJet can’t change or cancel my flight online, have tweeted, DM’d on Twitter, FB messenger. No response from @WestJet been over 24 hrs. Please help- have sent all info directly required. Still nothing.

  • idaloveyou I (@idaloveyou) reported

    @united Trying to get help from FB Messenger and getting the runaround that they couldn’t find any extra charges even though it’s clearly visible in the screenshot! Ridiculous!

  • WTFPeople15 WTFPeople (@WTFPeople15) reported

    @mumsintheattic @JasonStrummer I thought that it was very clever too. I just wish that I could go back and correct what is a blaring error. Were instead of we’re. I wonder why Twitter doesn’t allow any corrections. FB Messenger does.

  • JessieChrimbo Jessie Christmas (@JessieChrimbo) reported

    @ArgosHelpers Hi, I need help with a broken product and am unable to make contact either via chat on Twitter, or on Facebook messenger.

  • adiditm A Didit Mifanto (@adiditm) reported

    @WhatsApp @WhatsApp why whatsapp linked device only 4? I have 2 HP, 1 tablet with dual OS, two laptops can login all no problem in Telegram, Skype, FB messenger without one of it to logout. But why only can 4 in Whatsapp policy?

  • JeffyMBayBay Jeffrey Maddox Jr. (@JeffyMBayBay) reported

    I just unblocked the guy who kept hitting me up for money from my Facebook messenger. Even though I should've said no from the start, I hope he's gotten the message now. It doesn't seem like he'll be a problem going forward, but I'm not gonna readd him to my FB.

  • HopperSupport Hopper Support (@HopperSupport) reported

    @joonieIuva @hopper We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble contacting our Support Team. Please feel free to reach out to our support team via Facebook Messenger, or Twitter DM @HopperSupport and we'd be happy to look into this with you.

  • TechRdM8 Regina (@TechRdM8) reported

    Anyone else with an iPhone having problems lately receiving notifications from Facebook messenger? The only way I know if someone messages me is if I open the messenger app 🙄 #FacebookMessenger

  • KeiaBeiaMac the perfect virgo (@KeiaBeiaMac) reported

    You really get what you pay for at @BreezeAirways… can’t check in or drop luggage because no customer service rep at the desk, can’t call customer service because they only operate using IG and Facebook Messenger.

  • sharna_dixon Sharna Dixon (@sharna_dixon) reported

    @JPEGdesignprint @Tesco Same happened to me. I've for lve got a @Leatherman_UK multi tool that should get it off though. If you need to message then Facebook messenger is better. The customer service reps on twitter are dreadful

  • _alialkhatib Ali Alkhatib (@_alialkhatib) reported

    so confused by the swalwell thread, and i'm not sure if it's because it looks like an insta/facebook messenger thread (so why would he ask twitter for help?) or because i have no idea how this doesn't violate some part of twitter's new policy abt sharing private info about people

  • ScryingGlass Steve Carter (@ScryingGlass) reported

    @WantaCarlos @robbystarbuck Still didn't stop Amazon, Apple and Google from attacking and pretty much destroying Parler over rumours that their service was being used during the so-called riot at the Capitol. In truth, more people were using Facebook Messenger to find out what was going on.

  • balazsgerlei Balázs Gerlei (@balazsgerlei) reported

    How many times I had to beg people for originals of photos. They have these amazing cameras on modern phones and they share it on Facebook Messenger with you! And most of the times they don't even understand what is the problem with that!

  • accessiblechurc Alex Johnston (@accessiblechurc) reported

    @chatrmobile how can I get help with a payment issue. I’ve left messages on FB messenger and have had no reply

  • TrackerSacher StormTrackerSacher (@TrackerSacher) reported

    @Trym215 I’m not entirely sure how his subscription service works. I would send him a message through Facebook messenger if you have it. This post was free on his timeline.

  • chlosterbaby chlosterbaby. BLM. (@chlosterbaby) reported

    @funsweets so, I’m having a problem and I messaged on Facebook messenger and didn’t receive a response. How can I speak with someone regarding this?

  • TomGuytonDay Cllr Tom Guyton-Day 🏳️‍🌈 (@TomGuytonDay) reported

    FB messenger video chat be down 😑

  • FromDeadToAlive Fred Weasley (@FromDeadToAlive) reported

    @sncketraitor // nope. We get the whole amount. I have problems with PayPal they’ve actually taken money I sent to my sister she needed for food. And Venmo is meh. Never had problem with Facebook messenger for sending money. And they probably jailed you depending on the amount.

  • thecongjen # 𝙲𝚘𝚗𝚐 𝙹𝚎𝚗 黄琮政 (@thecongjen) reported

    I have this SMS about OTP on Paypal and also FB messenger. However I didn't get notification on someone attempt to login to my account. 🤨

  • dgor David Gorman (@dgor) reported

    @AerLingus Hi AerLingus, it looks like my flight has been removed from your schedule, I've been trying to get through to the contact centre and via FB messenger for 2 days now, can you help?

  • CassieM1978 Cassie Morrison (@CassieM1978) reported

    @prkendrick Good to know that one of your customer service team on FB messenger have just admitted in writing that your company have committed fraud! #studio

  • ScryingGlass Steve Carter (@ScryingGlass) reported

    @CassandraRules Parler was compromised when big tech took it down when they were falsely accused of what Facebook Messenger was already doing. It's never worked right since.

  • mattdj2002 Matthew Jefferson (@mattdj2002) reported

    @1van_the_Great It’s the format the file is saved as. Apple phones save them as a HEIC file unless you go into settings and change it to jpg. Workaround is to send it via Facebook messenger app for existing pictures. Had the same issue until I changed what format the files save as.
