    @GayofReckoning7 It is 100% okay (and completely valid!) to remove these ***** from your life and anywhere from your sight. Do they have Twitter handles? FB messenger? Can I be of service? More than willing to send some thoughts.

    @hetheyharkness 👥 MSN Messenger, later rebranded as Windows Live Messenger, was a cross-platform instant messaging client developed by Microsoft. It connected to the Microsoft Messenger service while also having compatibility with Yahoo! Messenger and Facebook Messenger. /c

  • iamsteviebaby BREAKING: (Insert Witty Tweet) (@iamsteviebaby) reported

    @Jason23Gar @toddneville Everyone I don't know if this helps you but I have had a great deal of success reaching Ohio unemployment through Facebook messenger. I send a message and usually that same day I get a message back and they have fixed my issues every single time this way. Better than calling.

    @KatieDaviscourt Do not use FB Messenger. Facebook has access to messages you send there. Use a E2E encrypted service like Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram (with encryption enabled), etc.

    @JohnWesleyShipp i can send it through facebook messenger if that would help.

    @JedediahBila Help! Why does the US Navy only allow navy personel on ships to use Facebook Messenger? Considering what FB has done to factual news, why do they support their media?

  • JasBratfud Jas Singh (@JasBratfud) reported

    @HarrietSergeant No, it’s genuine and not a scam. Like the Twitter and Parler scenario, it’s Facebook Messenger trying to shut down a rival. Send me a cheque made out to Campaign Against Social Harrassment (CASH for short) and I’ll fix it for you. Don’t pay them scammers whatever you do! 😬

  • pennyfierce3 Penny (@pennyfierce3) reported

    @SallyDSkllngton On a group on Facebook messenger, she said her child was dying of cancer and she needed help but I found out today that was a lie

  • julianne2u julianne2u (@julianne2u) reported

    @officedepot I sent a Facebook Messenger DM after 2 wasted calls to customer service I chose Office Depot over Amazon not realizing OD delivery windows were “flexible”... to put it nicely My order was time sensitive. Without notice the delivery window increased by a WEEK which left me screwed

  • DiogoExMachina Diogo Marques (@DiogoExMachina) reported

    @doney @pilky The main problem I keep coming back to like you mention is the network effect. Whole countries are completely tied to WhatsApp/Instagram/FB Messenger for their main form of communication. How do you convince, say, family or coworkers to download another app to talk to you?

  • badbadtzcarlo Carlo Flores (@badbadtzcarlo) reported

    @talk2GLOBE please check your DMs. really need help on account. no help from in-app chat/FB messenger, and 211 still no live agent option

  • FleeceityDrones That's My Purse! (@FleeceityDrones) reported

    @grammacevery @chrislhayes Just have everyone use a more reliable app like Telegram, WhatsApp, or FB Messenger. Since they're actually cross platform you won't have as many issues.

  • PhilipFeldman4 Philip Feldman (@PhilipFeldman4) reported

    @IKEAHelpt - your phone lines are always busy and you haven't responded to FB messenger either. Your chat asks me to call (which we can never get thru) and now I'm trying twitter because your customer service doesn't exist! please help

  • coachtriskoh Tristan Koh (@coachtriskoh) reported

    @LBCexpress i need urgent assistance on a shipment. Your phone number is magically not working and your FB messenger chatbot sucks

  • NinjaBritches Fatniss Everdeen (@NinjaBritches) reported

    Send help. A girl I haven’t spoke to in 16 years is trying to call me on FB messenger

  • PatConrey pat (@PatConrey) reported

    @meet_cleo I really want to try your service but I have privacy concerns about the integration with facebook messenger. Are there ways to not use messenger with your service?

    @Tfin73 Thank you for your help. I will be going down the legal route. Have just managed to speak with someone on Facebook messenger but still fobbing me off. They’re all as bad as each other just blaming each other.

    @justjason709 I’m not down there, just going through fb messenger. Nerves b’y! Lol

  • GeektimusPrime Geektimus Prime (@GeektimusPrime) reported

    Why are my @Facebook Messenger "seen-by" confirmations (on the website) showing up as December 1969...even though the timestamp for sending the message is correct for today? Anyone else seeing this issue?

  • Lucilalovelight Lucy Maldonado (@Lucilalovelight) reported from Rancho Cucamonga, California

    @viajaVolaris I have been on hold for a hour no answer, call center said they can’t help , @facebook messenger won’t reply back either ? I need to check in!! Can some one contact me ASAP !! @viajaVolaris Volaris why do you always have issues !?

  • _KayleighHardy Kaylssss (@_KayleighHardy) reported

    If I wasn’t a bad enough friend for forgetting to reply before COVID I’ve just looked in my Facebook messenger and saw a message unopened from 4 days ago and now I feel like it’s rude to reply but message notifications just overwhelm me and I just put my phone down instead 🙃
