Facebook Messenger Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • B0O5T3R No Body (@B0O5T3R) reported

    @grenadeofficial I have sent a message on Facebook messenger, E-mail and twitter. Can you not help me amend my order? It’s over £1000 worth of product

  • hoofhearted4 Hoof (@hoofhearted4) reported

    @WillBerron @IGN Nah. Not really. You can still send all those things over text. Photos especially. Videos do tend to get compressed. I usually use FB Messenger for videos. But photos are a non issue. I don't buy Apple out of principal. But if you like them, there's no real reason to switch.

    FB messenger down?

  • ashkero_ttv ash 🐸 (@ashkero_ttv) reported

    @sinarynn when i used imessage like a decade ago i had no issue with sending imessages worldwide? it should just be like facebook messenger or discord in that it uses the internet rather than a phone carrier

  • auddiemac21 auddiieeeeeee (@auddiemac21) reported

    Does anyone know how to deactivate my FB Messenger account? I’ve already deactivated my main profile. I have spent probably 30 minutes trying to figure this out. The option to deactivate isn’t showing up anywhere help articles say to look.

  • Torihanaho TᏫᎡⓘ ђᎯⓃᎯᎻᏫᏫᏫ 👽🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🛸 (@Torihanaho) reported

    @heyjenbartel I only use Facebook messenger. Instagram has a problem with petty people reporting the dumbest **** and somehow winning and you can’t even explain context to defend yourself. The report staff if they even exist don’t even look 99.9% of the time.

  • LunaaraDarkmoon Lunaara Darkmoon🔞 (@LunaaraDarkmoon) reported

    @NNerocchi It isnt just Twitter. Facebook, Facebook messenger, Instagram, Whatsapp, are all having outages. Hell, even the McDonald's app is having a surge of reported outages. Likely a world-wide major outage, whether purely on accident or done with malicious intent.

    Anyone’s Facebook messenger not working? #facebookdown #messenger

  • KarenzBotz Fun with Bots (@KarenzBotz) reported

    Thompson (2018) argues that two bots turn the help from Facebook Messenger app, Woebot and others may offer therapeutic support

  • blakehouse624 Blake Barnhouse (@blakehouse624) reported

    @USAA I wasted time doing this on Facebook messenger. Was faced with more chat room incompetence. All the reps had to do was connect me to an agent in your awful and outdated phone queue on a Saturday. I’m just not surprised in bad customer service with USAA now.

  • JeremyBean74 Jeremy Bean (@JeremyBean74) reported

    @RealMattCouch My fb messenger is down right now

  • danaceae Dan Neil Policarpio (@danaceae) reported

    @jrrmmcOfficial Concerning my kuya's case, I contacted you via Facebook Messenger. He has been in the hospital for more than a month. I'm asking for help in raising our concern. Thank you very much.

  • Lulz5wag 𝓛𝓾𝓵𝔃§𝔀𝓪𝓰 ❁ (@Lulz5wag) reported

    @mgogel That would be my guess. But then again instagram, FB messenger, Spotify, and some other stuff went down as well.

  • woolbotherer Stone Cold Jane Austen (@woolbotherer) reported

    @CBuckthorn Please remember not to open a group call on fb messenger as you put your phone down before getting tested.

  • Chris85736949 Chris 🏳️‍🌈 (@Chris85736949) reported

    @FadicalNem My DMs were down earlier but are back up now. Apparently the outage has affected FB FB messenger, YouTube, Instagram as well. Probably a AWS (Amazon server) issue on which these platforms all depend.

  • coolmom42069 amy (@coolmom42069) reported

    oh also he dumped me via facebook messenger. i used to date such terrible dudes lmao, i ended up happily married with a baby *despite* my best efforts to **** up my life

  • AnthessaMa Anthessa Ibanez (@AnthessaMa) reported

    @PLDT_Cares Poor customer service with @PLDT_Cares in facebook messenger especially the one named ADI.

  • TonyConlin Tony Conlin45%1888 (@TonyConlin) reported

    /1 Just been asked on FB messenger what do I know about mental illness ? Because I advised someone to try and get help rather than ' deal' with things on their own well the answer to that is I know full well what mental illness is like because because I'm toiling right now inside

    @airtransat I’ve been trying to contact the groups department for over 2 weeks - cannot get in touch with an agent. Emailed 6x and called 2x waiting on hold 3+ hours each time. I have used Facebook messenger twice and they cannot help as it’s a group - please help

  • wetlycraboy wetlycraboy (@wetlycraboy) reported

    @KL2FK @kinkytheo Biggest problem I have with FB Messenger is that it seems wildly inconsistent at notifying (or not) when a new message arrives.

  • mstdennis66 Michelle Leigh (@mstdennis66) reported

    @alx I had issues with Facebook Messenger

  • WeeLiChua Wee Li Chua (@WeeLiChua) reported

  • jo_anne1987 Jo-Anne Marais (@jo_anne1987) reported

    @RSAWEB how does someone get help from your support? I’ve been on a live chat everyday for the last 4 days, called and I’m yet to be helped. I’ve used the WhatsApp line, used Facebook messenger and sent DMs on Twitter. Do I need to tightrope walk over lava on my way to the moon?

  • ThisIsBenSilver Ben Silver 💙⚓️🚀 (@ThisIsBenSilver) reported

    @KimberDin Has anyone ever done that on purpose? I’ve been on maybe 7 Facebook Messenger calls in my life. One was because Zoom was down… and the other 6 were accidents.

  • _HARVEY__DENT_ HARVEYDENT (@_HARVEY__DENT_) reported

    @yes_hello42069 I read some stuff stating at least a portion of it was running on AWS, apparently Instagram and Facebook Messenger were down too. idk just trying to give them the benefit of doubt a dev environment is running by now lol

  • IAIHIMIEIDI Ahmed (@IAIHIMIEIDI) reported

    @sondesix Are these issues per device based or the whole Exynos is like that?? Because in two years I havent felt any overheating with mine. I'm a heavy user, sometimes I use pubg with whatsapp, insta and facebook messenger in pop-up view.
