    @Uber_Support I created the case through Facebook messenger on Jan 5th and have followed up 10 times without any response from Uber customer service.

  • pwndNinjaQuick NinjaQuick (@pwndNinjaQuick) reported

    @KatieDaviscourt Do not use FB Messenger. Facebook has access to messages you send there. Use a E2E encrypted service like Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram (with encryption enabled), etc.

  • idontfakeit Juan Miguel Apuhin (@idontfakeit) reported

    @PLDT_Cares i have messaged you thru FB MESSENGER and here on twitter. No reply since last year. Im having problems with my landline.

  • JCWHMU James (@JCWHMU) reported

    @MitchellTarbit is your Facebook messenger not working?

  • jebr Jeb Rach (@jebr) reported

    @sdho @mikesonn I guess I've never had an issue with not having iMessage; not sure if that's a reflection of people communicating me through other apps (Signal, Slack, FB Messenger) or that I don't really communicate to people with iDevices much.

    @AtlanticBBInc Well, we had this same conversation a week ago when I needed a transfer of service so I message thru fb messenger like you advised me to, set everything up for today to get transferred only to find out that it was only scheduled to be a service call for tech.

  • MarieIW Marie Williams (@MarieIW) reported

    @Matalan Can you respond to my email and Facebook messenger posts about my lost order? You can take orders but clearly don’t have an effective customer service system up and running

  • McMudder71 McMudder (@McMudder71) reported

    @justjason709 I’m not down there, just going through fb messenger. Nerves b’y! Lol

  • PhilipFeldman4 Philip Feldman (@PhilipFeldman4) reported

    @IKEAHelpt - your phone lines are always busy and you haven't responded to FB messenger either. Your chat asks me to call (which we can never get thru) and now I'm trying twitter because your customer service doesn't exist! please help

  • Psy_Kriz PutaPeroCatolica (@Psy_Kriz) reported

    @soobinssoulmate Use hoyoyo, Contact by FB messenger, they take less than 1 hour to help! (HkTime)

  • OtanoMarfa M (@OtanoMarfa) reported

    @DuckDuckGo @mshelton I love Signal. I dropped Facebook Messenger and I'm not going back. My one issue with Signal is that I can't send photos in batches, only one by one. I wish they'd update that issue.

  • journeymanped Journeyman Pedant (@journeymanped) reported

    @whitequark there was that kind of brief period in the late 2000's where you could login to facebook messenger, google chat etc via XMPP. Even up to 2015 I was logging in to Lync/Skype for Business with pidgin which worked well for chat

  • ThomasLaing13 Thomas Laing (@ThomasLaing13) reported

    @ASOS @ASOS_HeretoHelp @asos "Asos customer service is a joke at the moment. Tried to contact through Facebook messenger and email, still no response! My refund is £65 short!"

  • MushyHen MushyHen (@MushyHen) reported

    Important, Please Read: If you have a kink Instagram account, make sure that it is not linked to the new "Account Center" that was just added by facebook messenger. It linked to my kink account by default and am not sure who noticed before I fixed the problem. GOOD LUCK! :(

  • OisinFahy1 Oisin Fahy (@OisinFahy1) reported

    @KevBeirne @EmerSugrue I just tried, you can mute a chat in FB messenger from the main menu by holding down on the chat you want to mute.

  • madotsukki Ghostie @Ciconia 2 waiting room (@madotsukki) reported

    also facebook messenger ******* sucks and there is literally no argument that will make me think different, it's just terrible, I ******* hate it

  • ShireBat 🦇 Batty for Orange Team🧡Ⓥ🦇 (@ShireBat) reported

    @GayofReckoning7 It is 100% okay (and completely valid!) to remove these ***** from your life and anywhere from your sight. Do they have Twitter handles? FB messenger? Can I be of service? More than willing to send some thoughts.

  • Natanael_L Natanael, tech janitor (@Natanael_L) reported

    @AlecMuffett @alexstamos The single thing I can think of that is of relevance is the committing encryption scheme used in Facebook messenger, where the recipient can flag a message and relay the committed key, proving the ciphertext sent over the service held the reported content.

  • farktal Aaron Knight (@farktal) reported

    Hey FB Messenger app: please fix your iOS notifications background checking. I shouldn’t have an unread indicator on a message *I SENT* from another device. Ever.

  • Lucilalovelight Lucy Maldonado (@Lucilalovelight) reported from Rancho Cucamonga, California

  • prettyysweeeet sian (@prettyysweeeet) reported

    my biggest first world problem is that am currently havin to use fb messenger to converse with people. pain! feel like pure **** just want my phone fixed

  • danniellebardo1 Dannielle Bardowell (@danniellebardo1) reported

    @Payoneer Please respond to my dm regarding my declined payment. I’ve been blocked from your Facebook messenger, your phone representatives have given me inconsistent information, one just hung up on me, and the other has had me on hold for over 20 minutes. Your service is unsatisfactory.

  • RyuraDamion Damion_ryura (@RyuraDamion) reported from San Diego, California

    Wow @ultrasabers I’ve worked on trying to resolve an issue, no replies to emails and now blocked on Facebook messenger not cool at all who can I reach out to? #unfairbusiness

  • chrisWhite Christin White (@chrisWhite) reported

    @myapfelworld I've been trying to get it to work for months now. Doesn't Beepify do Telegram and FB Messenger as the two chat services it will connect to? I'd double check but I can't launch it now and I don't see it on their site, "Help Center" isn't actually a link either.

  • ShanODonoghuexo 💚Shannon'TheScript'Bake💚 (@ShanODonoghuexo) reported

    2) as I'm deaf my only option to contact them is online chat/email or Facebook messenger, each one I'm being ignored! Whenever I eventually get to speak to someone they say they can't help and I need to ring this person then that person..

  • Stjosep11704342 Stjoseph (@Stjosep11704342) reported

    @TheVolumeMan Hi, i have subscribed and paid for your newsletter and services, but i had issue accessing it. I tried contacting you via website chat and facebook messenger but nobody replied thus far. Kindly help and respond. thanks.

  • _KayleighHardy Kaylssss (@_KayleighHardy) reported

    If I wasn’t a bad enough friend for forgetting to reply before COVID I’ve just looked in my Facebook messenger and saw a message unopened from 4 days ago and now I feel like it’s rude to reply but message notifications just overwhelm me and I just put my phone down instead 🙃

  • GeektimusPrime Geektimus Prime (@GeektimusPrime) reported

    Why are my @Facebook Messenger "seen-by" confirmations (on the website) showing up as December 1969...even though the timestamp for sending the message is correct for today? Anyone else seeing this issue?

  • nomadicref nomad (@nomadicref) reported

    just went down Nostalgia Lane on fb messenger and damn, I really did conduct a lot of official university business through facebook
