  • inthemiddleof19 inthemiddleofnowhere (@inthemiddleof19) reported

    @talk2GLOBE There’s no option to lodge the concern in your app yet. We just keep getting repetititive messages from all of your CSR channels. Your phone lines are of no help at all. FB messenger as well.

  • m_nwwn1 Marc (@m_nwwn1) reported

    @PepVerbsNouns Heck if anything my bigger problem has been people wanting to use Facebook Messenger. Yuck.

  • Pepperfire Tina Brooks, Âûtistic Witch, Richer than Trump (@Pepperfire) reported

    @Janni_Joy They do. I am giving them a chance to fix first. Facebook messenger is obviously not a good business tool for folks. In spite of everyone pretending so.

  • kurtsh kurtsh (@kurtsh) reported

    "Google also bragged about “slowing down” new privacy rules in Europe that would apply to digital services like services such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger and Microsoft’s Skype, according to internal documents quoted by the states."

  • hxltxnj joe 🌌 (@hxltxnj) reported

    Going through my old Facebook messenger conversations and came across the person who mentally ab*sed me for several months omg I was down bad in 2017

  • luckylove ⚫ Lulu Bacchus🏳️‍⚧️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇯🇲🏳️‍🌈💗💜💙 (@luckylove) reported

    Facebook just locked me out of my account and now Facebook Messenger says it can't use English UK anymore. I got back into Facebook, changed the password and discovered no damage done. Anyone else having issues?

  • ScarletNyaa Nyaa (@ScarletNyaa) reported

    @Casey I just deal with SMS and use Facebook messenger to send any images or videos. If Apple ever supported RCS on iPhones it would help immensely, but if anyone ever budges I usually prefer to use Signal but it’s rare that people budge and get it.

  • donald_soto00 Donald Soto (@donald_soto00) reported

    Until the apple watch over christmas and now you use fb messenger that could be done so soon but don’t worry, they will try to fix errors is not what the hell is wrong with this guy?

  • rhondajaneee The Stoner Formerly Known As Lowe (@rhondajaneee) reported

    if you have facebook messenger - call my **** there too heavy!!!!!!!! @62DonNeedo @DoeyVanGogh one time down

  • arrafiq Abdulrahman AK Rafiq (@arrafiq) reported from Karachi, Sindh

    Any Karachi based intellectual property lawyer here able to take on an issue of brand identity being copied? Seize and desist letter emailed and send on fb messenger to culprits. Deadline for them to respond has expired. Need options / advise?

  • RonKJeffries Ron K Jeffries (@RonKJeffries) reported

    @MichaelBabich @mims @Casey Telegram is very good. My family rejected it, so I am stuck with FB Messenger as family chat app & it's not terrible.

  • katherpolar Mariaakachreena (@katherpolar) reported

  • Divergence90 👻 Divergence 👻 (@Divergence90) reported

  • akosisepmac sep macapagal (@akosisepmac) reported

    @PLDTHome @PLDT_Cares customer service is the worst! agent just ended the chat in fb messenger. 4 days no internet yet no resolution.

  • TheBreakerOfWal TheBreakerOfWalls (@TheBreakerOfWal) reported

    @TotalWireless Chat isn't working. Can't text because phone keeps showing not reqistered on a network after calling customer service, they made my issue worst! Facebook messenger auto-chat doesn't do anything but tries to send OTP code to a phone the that was supposed to be activated by cs

  • HEROMANishere Heroman is on day 29 of Lobotomy Corp. 💯 (@HEROMANishere) reported

    @_rythomas Honestly Facebook messenger worked fine. I used linkedin once because my mom's job security needed to avoid Facebook, but she didn't get into trouble for me asking about something home related.

  • nocryinglemons No🖤 (@nocryinglemons) reported

    Just so y’all know @FlySwoop is terrible. They cancelled my flight without notice and their customer service team has been gaslighting me over fb messenger for the last three days “helping” resolve the issue 🤪

  • chuwidotcom Chuwi Global (@chuwidotcom) reported

    @a21400r I'm sorry to hear about the experience you've had. Send us a direct message using Facebook Messenger so we can help you get this sorted.

  • Zeratul_001 Zeratul_001 (@Zeratul_001) reported

    @GreyhoundBus Where should I dm it? I already tried reaching out via Facebook messenger but your backend team is contradicting what I experienced, and what your phone customer service also verified.

  • DonavanSchwyha1 Donavan Schwyhart (@DonavanSchwyha1) reported

    My facebook messenger kids app not allowing me to send messages to my girlfriend and only them does it not work but I can call and each time I try it says a security check os required to proceed please help if I try to send a voice message it says error 368

  • KBezza79 KBerry (@KBezza79) reported

    @eon_next … it seems impossible to actually get any help from you! Over 45 mins listening to crappy music with no info on wait times. Can’t access app/online account. No response on FB messenger… and you’re trying to charge me for electric I haven’t used! #poorcustomerservice

  • anupam149 Anupam Sharma (@anupam149) reported

    @iJonniM @SkylledDev FB Messenger is really good but I think people have lost faith in Facebook. Unfortunately Whatsapp is also a part of them & we see the rise of Telegram & Signal. But again, fragmentation. The biggest issue why there is no iMessage alternative. Spoilt for choice.

  • Kezia47 Valerie (@Kezia47) reported

    @harbourbirds Just wondering if a answer to what the webcam fault is , 10 days now not working and I have written 3 times on FB messenger and yesterday on twitter , I know not important but people would just like to know

  • ThisIsLiamS lps 🦕 (@ThisIsLiamS) reported

    you have a better chance of tracking me down in the streets of pittsburgh, convincing me to give you my home address, and then mailing me a letter, than having me see something you sent me on facebook messenger

  • 4U2CY Tanya Rowlands (@4U2CY) reported

    @skrymir42 @Cryptopher_M @NototyrannyNOW Truth be told. I started a Facebook messenger group to help people get the resources to get Ivermectin. They are not dying ,they are getting over it. They are not being hospitalized.They use it preventatively.And in fact when dosed correctly the horse paste actually works as well

  • Isahsat Momo (@Isahsat) reported

  • dioryongz (@dioryongz) reported

  • vetler Vetle (@vetler) reported

  • 1570_landa Luis Landa (@1570_landa) reported

    Facebook messenger still not working on my desktop computer.

  • ArcadeFrenzy Gag and Blag (@ArcadeFrenzy) reported

    @SD_Sarcaster @PlzzaPlzza1001 15+ year ebayer here. Ebay support is awful, they will rarely take the time to try to understand what youre asking. They also were not trained very well and will tell u the wrong thing to do. Search for “ebay for businesses” on FB messenger and msg them. They will help buyers too
