    @obrn1969 Shower songs on FB and people have thanked me. I also share on Messenger. I just wish I could do something to help someone.

  • aliceanne_Mc Alice McGowan🌈🍻🍀 (@aliceanne_Mc) reported from Solihull, England

    @ASOS_HeretoHelp hi, I know you must be really busy at the moment, but I’ve not received an order that I ordered on the 3rd of April. I’ve tried emailing, fb messenger and twitter dm and no one has got back to me. Pls help x

  • TreveenOrd Treveen (@TreveenOrd) reported from Monmouth, Wales

    Omg... Facebook messenger really be telling people when you read the drop down message instead of actually opening it 😳 EXPOSED

  • axewhyzack13 Ikhsan (@axewhyzack13) reported from Dengkil, Selangor

    @Celcom I think your DNS have issues.. To load apps that have no need to access dns, it works fine (twitter, fb, messenger apps), but when I try to browse through websites, it starts to either fail completely or slowed down way too much.

  • BeardedBakery Mikemical Romance (@BeardedBakery) reported from Brighton and Hove, England

    @gleepface We’ve been doing multi-way calls using Facebook messenger and not had any issues.

  • Tennesseine Tennesseine (@Tennesseine) reported from Charlotte, North Carolina

    @thesilverfoxx22 WOW!You should tell your doctor using FB Messenger is NOT HIPAA-compliant without a BAA, and no, the government is NOT waiving that requirement during the pandemic. Unless they want a huge headache, tell them to contact me. We’re discounting #telehealth to help during the crisis.

  • officialJosie_ Josie👑 (@officialJosie_) reported from Wellingborough, England

    @jamesgillre @VeryHelpers I tried Facebook messenger but they're just telling me to look at the FAQs which isn't resolving the issue.

  • OnlyAphrodeity Deity Did Your Dad (@OnlyAphrodeity) reported from Salt Lake City, Utah

    I just logged into my old facebook account where one of the last messenger convos I had was with one of the largest SLC queens and I told her I didn't care about her enough to have a problem with her when she asked if we had a problem 💀 Whats wrong with me.

  • BartonColgrove Barton Colgrove (@BartonColgrove) reported from Anchorage Municipality, Alaska

    @dbongino I’d have less problem deleting U-tube than I did my FB and messenger account

  • iamynnocuencaaa YNNO 🌈 (@iamynnocuencaaa) reported from Daraga (Locsin), Bicol

    No messenger and facebook. No problem!

  • pgillooly Patrick Gillooly (@pgillooly) reported from Waltham, Massachusetts

    @Smoore1117 Someone will solve the shoot-the-shit problem as it becomes financially prudent because the market has shifted. FB’s Messenger Rooms announcement is the start.

  • keand0m sevi (@keand0m) reported from Hermosa, Central Luzon

    la kong time to check messenger & fb, I have too many unread messages, it doesn't mean that I'm a snobber or whatever you call it. I have a problem w/ my phone, ok. If I use too many apps, it'll shut down automatically soooo :))

  • PamLibraswim Pam Reynecke (@PamLibraswim) reported from Umdloti, Province of KwaZulu-Natal

    @TelkomZA Please, please get a real live person from Telkom to contact me. I desperately need to discuss my account. FB messenger and Facebook posts, sms line, whatsapp line plus telephone line with self service don’t help me.

  • _bobbysnow HTownPapi (@_bobbysnow) reported from Houston, Texas

    Don’t ever ever ever in yo long legged life fix your thumbs to call me via Facebook Messenger.

  • Chels__x0x 𝙲𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚜. ✌🏻♥️ (@Chels__x0x) reported from Liverpool, England

    I swear the way Facebook messenger sometimes says your active when you’re not is terrible. Sh*t like that can ruin relationships in like 2.3 seconds 😂🙈

    @aproefrock Yeah I keep telling Banky that bc not only does he have an Android but his phone service/plan is HORRIBLE and iMessage would be extremely helpful. You and Steve should use fb messenger though at least then the messages don’t delete!

  • djbressler David Bressler 🐘 💵 (@djbressler) reported from Manhattan, New York

    @stevesi Steve, I’ve only used outlook and teams at this point. Though the worst offender is Facebook messenger so far. It’s fascinating. Because so many less visible companies do so much worse without realizing. I spend my days trying to help ppl understand. 🤜🏼🙏🏻

  • super_structure Jason Coleman (@super_structure) reported from Franklin, Tennessee

    You can text “USPS” to 50409 or Facebook Messenger Resistbot to let your members of Congress know you want to save the US Postal Service.

  • cherryxdarling7 Michelle Gutman (@cherryxdarling7) reported from Los Angeles, California

    @TelkomZA I am now desperate!! I have been trying since beginning of April to get hold of someone to help me. Messenger, Twitter, Facebook posts over and over. No response other than being asked for my ID & number on messenger and then being ignored. Don’t just threaten me, help!
