    @AirCanada is a $5 billion dollar company and their chat option to get help takes you to Facebook messenger where absolutely no one is there to help you. One of the worst airlines on earth

    **** customers. **** Walmart. I tell a customer to NOT log into Facebook messenger on one of the demo phones and the ****** threatens me over such a stupid little thing. Told security and Walmart management but they aren’t gonna do anything about it, or try to help. #FuckWalmart

    Hello team, I am needing help with my A List membership please. I tried to reach you via Facebook messenger but have yet to get a response. #ALISTHELP

  • realjunegloom june gloom 🍥 (@realjunegloom) reported

    @miss__slaughter the big problem for me is that texting is an exclusively phone-based communication platform (unless you do some weird **** to hook it up to your computer) when discord and facebook messenger are available on desktop

  • wint_rmute Toby Wintrmute (@wint_rmute) reported

    Facebook Messenger on Android seems to be totally broken for a bunch of us right now :( Hurry up and roll it back, @facebook

  • DeniseSeibert denise seibert (@DeniseSeibert) reported

    Cool- well anyone who’s an actual human that cares: I got completely locked out of FB and FB messenger for “violating community standards” probably a glitch with the update I did but who knows. See y’all never I guess 🙄

  • M_McCubbing Michael McCubbing (@M_McCubbing) reported

    If your Facebook Messenger has been glitchy the last day or two, try checking the app store for an update. Grayson and I were both having problems and just manually checked the app store for an update and it fixed the problems (mostly, it's still slow)

  • yoooooalice alice in blunderland (@yoooooalice) reported

    Pretty sure I’m an introvert because this Facebook messenger glitch is my worst nightmare, being shoved into a bunch of random group chats with strangers

  • ChaneyraM PEACH🍑 (@ChaneyraM) reported

    @Ken100nit On fb messenger hold ur message down click on more at the bottom then the unsend button should pop up in red

  • bai0 James Baicoianu (@bai0) reported

    @avibarzeev In a world with no bad actors, it would actually have been a really intriguing idea, a radical departure from the siloed approach everyone bemoans now. They even had federated chat, I could send messages to FB Messenger and Google Chat from my own XMPP service

  • Dedrian180_ Dedrian Colón (@Dedrian180_) reported

    Facebook Messenger is down

    Is fb messenger down?

  • Gabe_Veasey_RF Gabe Veasey (@Gabe_Veasey_RF) reported

    Is anyone by any chance having issues with their Facebook Messenger buffering while trying to call someone? I have reported this issue to Facebook like twice now and they haven’t fixed this problem yet. Even the desktop version is doing the same thing; this is going on on my end.

    @forksniffanon I come to claim you I post the GIF & you have broken 😞 my heart 💔 . Look at all these others! We declared it was official on FB messenger & WhatsApp. And now it is all a lie!

  • SamKluender Sam Kluender (@SamKluender) reported

    @vineetee No Facebook Messenger, me walking with the app open in my hand isn’t me trying to report an issue

  • drippp08 (@drippp08) reported

    something wrong with facebook messenger, is it down? Or it has something to do with the iOs update?

  • akamaotto Paul Otto (@akamaotto) reported

    @rahrahpiranha @Apple Get WhatsApp, Get Pixel as a second phone. Get FB Messenger. So many options. Apple users have other expectations from Apple. Solving Android problems is not one of those. Leave Apple out of this.

  • HotGirlNash blank space. (@HotGirlNash) reported

    I think my Facebook messenger is broken How are they gonna just drop me in a million group chats and not even ask if I wanted this 😡

  • JmeGehrke Nom DeGuerke 🇺🇦 (@JmeGehrke) reported

    Is @Google doing anything to fix the Pixel 6 after the latest update??? My FB messenger app is completely useless now. Garbage.

  • burning_train Melon Musk (@burning_train) reported

    Pathetic customer service by @IndiGo6E. Indigo cancelled one leg of my flight journey and sent email to book alternate flight using 'Plan B'. Wen I try booking, application throws error n won't let me book. Emailed them n reached out on fb messenger 12 hrs back. No response yet.
