Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • LivingLegion Go Wild, Dog! (@LivingLegion) reported

    Yup. Their ''website for applications'' was down for maintenance. Asked me for my Driver's License front AND back, through FB Messenger. I'm not stupid.

  • davidgeller David Geller (@davidgeller) reported

    @ParallelsCares Is your company still operating and are you providing support for the Access product that I paid for? My request for help has gone unanswered for many days. Tried calling, FB Messenger, your chat interface, etc. Seems like, perhaps, you’ve shutdown.

  • breannaskinsxox Breann Askins✨ (@breannaskinsxox) reported

    Snapchat decided to break and now people are messaging me on FACEBOOK MESSENGER. Snapchat needs to fix itself.

  • Dearbhaila13 Dearbhaila_ (@Dearbhaila13) reported

    People texting me on fb messenger cuz Snapchat is down 🤮 #fixit

  • yaydumpsterfire just ******* kill me🏴✨🦈💕 (@yaydumpsterfire) reported

    👵🏻: “Oh okay well I saw online that phone companies are censoring text messages.” Me: “Phone companies don’t have Terms of Service like Facebook does that censor what you’re saying. Phone companies don’t monitor that. Unless you’re on FB messenger you won’t be censored”

  • SusanEpstein Susan F. Epstein (@SusanEpstein) reported

    @HBOMaxHelp Like others here I have been trying to get help with non-working HBO Max. I’ve been through all the formulaic “fixes” and when they don’t work, communication ceases ( here and on FB Messenger).

  • JasmineIbikunle TRAPPOLINI (@JasmineIbikunle) reported

    @CBHelpTeam Yeah I understand but when people need to make emergency amendments to their orders 24 hours isn't quick enough. Your competitors have instant messaging services or a number to call. You have a Facebook messenger service- that's Instant messaging.

  • hellinhighheels Kirsten Sprinks (@hellinhighheels) reported

    Multiple messages at midnight via email & Facebook messenger, asking if someone is available to talk & requesting a response straight away. Concerned, I ask what the issue is/how I can help. It's for a photopass for a show in a month.

  • boy_lanky Lanky Boy (@boy_lanky) reported

    @waitrose I’m surprised that not only do you add £20 to my shopping order after I’ve checked out due to YOUR technical error. But you also don’t respond to tweets or Facebook messenger. Is this really good customer service? #waitrose #Johnlewis #poorcustomerservice

  • PeterVogel Peter Vogel (@PeterVogel) reported

    Any FB Messenger users here, preferably the desktop/web version? A few changes appeared yesterday. One, presumably unintentional, is that that text pane on the left is blank and text messaging is not possible on that screen. Anyone else have this issue?

  • DavidAd97423135 David Adkins (@DavidAd97423135) reported

  • daniellemcdonnx Dani McDonnell (@daniellemcdonnx) reported

  • HarpSilver H is for Harp (@HarpSilver) reported

    @EdwardFerguson_ I don't blame you wish I could but too many stubborn friends and craft groups on there that won't switch to twitter. Similar problem with FB messenger I genuinely wish people would embrace @signalapp but I've been told by a friend not going to as all my friends on FB messenger

  • caitofthecorn caitlyn (@caitofthecorn) reported

    @SproutSocial I need help! I’ve reached out via email and Facebook messenger with no resolution.

  • PrAaHe Preston Aaron (@PrAaHe) reported

    @Diana_Ridley Yeah our parents are terrible with technology lol. Last weekend mom called me over to figure out why her Facebook Messenger wasn't getting any messages. Turns out she had somehow blocked 300 people by accident..

  • erica_marie1130 Erica Marie (@erica_marie1130) reported

    --rid of Facebook and Facebook Messenger would help. It did; tremendously. But, not enough. I'm removing what no longer serves me. And right now, that's Instagram and Twitter. I'm not leaving for good. I'm just gonna log out, and stay away for awhile. Who knows how long that--

  • SuperMsBossy Saffron Young (@SuperMsBossy) reported

    @Ryanair having issues with changing a flight online. Limited response to FB messenger and all quiet for over an hour now. Please help!

  • v_ankit21 Ankit Verma (@v_ankit21) reported

    @ZARA_Care It has been a nightmare to speak to Zara customer service. I do not understand why they do not reply on chat. Even they do not reply on Facebook messenger. Firstly, you sent a pair of poor quality shoes. Secondly, you guys have poor customer service. STOP FOOLING!!!!

  • gcdwt grace (@gcdwt) reported

  • gouyet_a AGouyet (@gouyet_a) reported

    @British_Airways @jcconsultant1 @British_Airways I am having the same issue with being cut off when trying to get through to the BA holidays team. I have sent you a DM on Twitter and Facebook Messenger and I am only receiving automated responses saying to call BA holidays but it cuts me off everytime!

  • 4nt01n3tt3_ antoinette (@4nt01n3tt3_) reported

    @maya70249932 well she asked my mom for a ticket to come out here and she had messaged her on facebook messenger to say her phone is completely broken(?) and she's been MIA since

  • Bokenza1 𝓀ℯ𝓃𝓏 (@Bokenza1) reported

  • WardsProperty Wards Property (@WardsProperty) reported

    I tweeted yesterday as I was awaiting delivery of my order, ignored by Facebook messenger, Twitter DM, we placed the order on the 16th of July order number 101840646 I have DM to you but have not had any response, even the DM you requested ignored. SHOCKING CUSTOMER SERVICE 🤬

  • Will__Phoenix Will Phoenix (@Will__Phoenix) reported

    @SKYserves also, when will the Facebook messenger service work again? I need a copy of my bill, but the bot isn't even seeing the messages

  • BeesDawgs Belinda Thomas (@BeesDawgs) reported

    @rainSouthAfrica Please tell me how do I get hold support. Phone no. gives 'subscriber unavailable' message. Emails come back saying it is no longer in service. No option on the website to log a call & no response via FB Messenger. This is the worst customer service ever.
