  • christmaseve64 carol (@christmaseve64) reported from Howell, Michigan

    Don’t trust @Facebook for money transfer anymore! My money is stuck in limbo! Both my bank and my college son’s bank said there is nothing wrong on either end; it’s the middle man: Facebook Messenger!!! @fbnewsroom FIX THIS AND RELEASE MY MONEY!

  • TraceySwans Tracey Swanson (@TraceySwans) reported from Chicago, Illinois

    Facebook needs to be broken up. They have several viable products that would be competitive on their own (events, groups, messenger), but their desire to completely control people's online lives is dragging them down.

  • littlesar83 Sarah Jayne (@littlesar83) reported from Stoke-on-Trent, England

    @Cosatto_Tweets still trying to get an issue resolved, you asked me to send the video and photos to fb messenger which I have done yet I'm still waiting on a response and my daughter is a till waiting on having a working Christmas present!!!!!!!!!

  • Cbarron15 Conor Barron (@Cbarron15) reported from Dublin City, Leinster

    @paulbuckl_ey Oh right. Yeah that it interesting. Like I wonder are they sending a notification in the same way that they would when you get a message from a human (assuming you have that turned on) or is it like FB messenger ads where they are just there when you login

  • AceTrueblue TrueblueAce (@AceTrueblue) reported from Midway, Florida

    @stirednotshakn Idk but I have been having same problems with Facebook messenger so I deleted it until @Facebook can fix it

  • itsyacarelessbb carlalovee♡ (@itsyacarelessbb) reported from Cebu City, Central Visayas

  • lubbylou94 Lisa 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😛 (@lubbylou94) reported from Earlston, Scotland

    I've had the city runner outfit, pathfinder patch and declaration weapon skin for some time now but it doesn't show up in game though I earned it through the Facebook messenger promotion at launch. Any help would be much appreciated. @UbisoftClub @UbisoftSupport

  • stephanieenii shushurl (@stephanieenii) reported from Cagayan De Oro City, Northern Mindanao

    My mom usually sends facebook memories on my messenger (i dunno why) and now she sent a photo of her with my Tatay and I just cant help but cry coz I know how much she misses him every single day 💔😭

  • azannaphx AnnaB (@azannaphx) reported from San Tan Valley, Arizona

    @WestWriter1 I am ready to drop out of FB. I have never been happy with how they invade my phone contact list to populate their Messenger service which probably accounts for 90% of my spam phone calls. Maybe we could mass move to My Space which was once very popular.

  • HealthyHairRevo Aria Lemley (@HealthyHairRevo) reported from Kootenai, Idaho

    @pulte If it was on FB you could just jump into messenger and send funds through there, going down the line of 1,000 people lol. I really can't think of a efficient way that quick 😅

  • MyraFos14998905 Myra Foster (@MyraFos14998905) reported from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

    @frmshahed @Facebook I was hacked about a month ago, & now I'm locked out of Facebook & Messenger. I've been to a Verizon store twice & Best Buy twice. They've both attempted to help. I just keep trying. I've been sent about 20 numbers to reset my password, but it just sends me back to same page.

  • NeilWatterson NeilWatterson🇮🇲 (@NeilWatterson) reported from Port Erin, Port Erin

    @Gedpower @juanwatterson @iominfra Managed to get the report a problem link to work apart from the pics so sent them on FB messenger and they’re sending someone to have a look apparently wonder how long it’ll take🤔

  • Jeff__Powell Jeff Powell (@Jeff__Powell) reported from Winston-Salem, North Carolina

    I’ve always known that we would one day take care of our parents as they took care of us. Today, for me, that meant patiently explaining to my mom that Facebook Messenger requiring an app update does not mean her “texting is broken”.

  • nickhudsontrom Nick Hudson (@nickhudsontrom) reported from Warwickshire, England

    @Pandora_UK So, 6 separate emails to customer services, 1 to the CEO, 3 to the e-store email address, a promise of contact via Twitter and the same from Pandora's Facebook messenger service but STILL nobody replies to my messages. Unbelievably poor show Pandora, very poor show.

  • heartglue1 Collins heartglue (@heartglue1) reported from Johannesburg, Gauteng

    @fidelitybankplc can be so annoying ,been trying reach them for over a week now on their online platform, but can’t get a reply, I have tried their (live chat from their website, WhatsApp, e-mail and on FB messenger) pls shut down your online services if you can’t run it 😡😡

  • MommaIrisRae Mama Iris 😙 (@MommaIrisRae) reported from Bryan Mobile Home Park, Ohio

    I need a truck to help move things to my house and I have no ******* Facebook to ask anyone on messenger 🙃 I’m over it.

  • jono_hayward Jono: Fallen Order 🖖🏼🏳️‍🌈🎮 (@jono_hayward) reported from Melbourne, State of Victoria

    @swxxii @tuppaware I wish I could get more of my friends on to telegram or signal. Everyone’s so attached to messenger though and it feels a little arrogant asking people to sign up for a whole new service just because I don’t tolerate Facebook anymore

  • Kumardk83 Durgesh M (@Kumardk83) reported from Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh

    240M new people joined a member of the #Facebook "Family" (#Instagram FB, #WhatsApp, #messenger) over the past year — that's a smaller number than years past. The Book's also losing people to TikTok and Snap (or you just put your phone down).

  • michaelshawz Michael Shaw (@michaelshawz) reported from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

    @fbaccess I’m having issues with Facebook messenger. In group chats voiceover does not go past the admin heading. I used to but it doesn’t anymore. it also does not read the names of people when changing nicknames it used to as well but doesn’t anymore.

  • ShivamVahia Shivam Vahia (@ShivamVahia) reported from Mumbai Suburban, State of Mahārāshtra

    WhatsApp has received nod from NPCI to expand its payment service (UPI-based) to 10 million users. This is just the start. Facebook has failed to create a super app with Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram. WhatsApp shall be their last shot.

  • Mizz_CourtxO 𝓒𝓸𝓾𝓻𝓽𝓷𝓮𝔂 (@Mizz_CourtxO) reported from Lake Ridge, Virginia

    @Influenster I reached out via email and on FB messenger for help with my influenster account and no reply. I’m not receiving any emails or communication from Influenster. My settings are enabled. This is stopping me from getting boxes. Please help.

  • Marknovakusa Mark S. Novak (@Marknovakusa) reported from Fort Worth, Texas

  • gill_deacon GillyDee (@gill_deacon) reported from Slough, England

    @Paula55855 I contact all service suppliers through Facebook Messenger now. Works a treat 👍🏼

  • comm_hub Karen Twomey (@comm_hub) reported from Garrane, Munster

    @SkibbCU @MarketingInCork @LinkedIn Snapchat is a messanger service and not a social media platform so it's measured along with the likes of FB Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber, etc.!

  • _gracemccallum Grace McCallum (@_gracemccallum) reported from Hobart, State of Tasmania

    Hi @EmiratesSupport @emirates I’ve tried contacting you via messenger on Facebook and Twitter but so far after almost 24 hours have had no response. Would really like to hear from you to resolve my issue. Thanks.
