@Sumic31811272 @sainsburys DM them on #Sainsbury on Twitter or fb messenger them. They do not take any emails and today I had to apply for a refund for mouldy food and damaged goods as well as items supplied with use by date by tomorrow. Very disappointing customer care/service.

Instagram, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger briefly went down this afternoon in an apparent outage that prevented users from sending messages and refreshing their feeds. They are starting new spyware on all the programs secretly. To get human data.

@SamsungSupport When trying to post a picture on @Facebook FB Messenger or @instagram the phone's gallery to choose from is all jumble from their timelines or pics don't show at all. Extremely frustrating when trying to post. I've deleted the apps and reinstalled but it doesn't fix it.

@TeamKnowhowUK I’ve tried calling multiple times, I’ve tried using your Facebook messenger all to no avail! Why do you offer a good service and fail to deliver? When will I get my apology voucher for £50, promised over two weeks ago!

every time IG, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger go down together, just remember that Facebook has been clear about merging its apps for quite some time, well, at least the back end services. kinda sad actually.
