  • MelissaLyran Melissa Lyran (@MelissaLyran) reported

    Something is really going down today. I can't post a fleet and I'm getting heavily censor3d on fb messenger. I can't send a screen shot with certain words on it -even if it's all over the news. I would get your friends phone numbers and write them down old school style on paper!

  • AinieHaziqah Ainie Haziqah (@AinieHaziqah) reported

    Going through pleas for help on our FB Messenger since 530am. 80% are asking for diapers and milk for their kids. Many have no more food left. It’s mentally heartbreaking. I’ve reached that point where I have to choose who gets the reply and aid first.

  • ESCLewis13 Lewis 🇬🇧 (@ESCLewis13) reported

    Me when everyone is angry at Snapchat not working: 😐 Me when Facebook Messenger fails to send images: 🥵🥵🙁🙁😭

  • dollypower9 Dollypower9 (@dollypower9) reported

    Holy ****. To delete facebook messenger and check it after 3-4 weeks to be bombarded with **** over no reply, **** that. If you're knowing I have ongoing mental problems and I tend to shut people out, if I made it clear before now, respect it, because I have no issue cutting ties

  • Lone_Innocence Morgan (@Lone_Innocence) reported

    @PLDT_Cares none of your agents, whether on Facebook messenger or on Twitter are handling my concern. We were promised a site visit by a technician but they never arrived and our connection is still broken!

  • TheCoeliacSloth Georgina. (@TheCoeliacSloth) reported

    My Facebook messenger is down and I was going to write a status letting people know then I realised that absolutely nobody talks to me 🙃🙃🙃🙃

  • toe_barrett Rage & Indignation (@toe_barrett) reported

    @IzzyKamikaze @LauraMu17630594 If you do, there's a possibility I actually got round to unlinking it from my account. If that's the case, just hmu for login details again. I think you've my number, or Mo will get me on FB messenger. I miss stuff on twitface

  • chelseamtnez Chelsea Martinez #SOSCUBA🇨🇺 (@chelseamtnez) reported

    When random people start chit chat… I just reply with “can I help you with something?”. I’m all for meeting new people at this age, but you’re in a different country and you want to get to know me through fb messenger at this time and age after I said I’m working?! Idts.

  • LaidBackDerek Derek Buchanan (@LaidBackDerek) reported

    @Facebook @WhatsApp Facebook fix your ****. Can’t send gifs or photos on Facebook messenger.

  • Saturnzbath 𝕄𝕒𝕣𝕚𝕤𝕠𝕝⁷ ☻ (@Saturnzbath) reported

  • BelleRinger1 #ActuallyAutistic Belle Gaudreau (@BelleRinger1) reported from Bloomington, Minnesota

    Facebook messenger is being weird. It won’t let me send photo attachments To anyone. Tried 3 different people. Anyone having that same problem? @messenger @facebook

  • CourtMorgz Courtney-jade (@CourtMorgz) reported

    @QUIZ_Help I need help to change my order address as it’s being delivered to the wrong place and it won’t let me do it and your fb messenger is useless and not getting me anywhere

  • amavidi Amavidi (@amavidi) reported

    @_Sunflower_Bear It's basically a messaging platform like FB messenger, Signal, Kik, etc... While it is likely more private than FB Messenger, it still has security issues. Telegram's "Secret" conversations are completely encrypted, but group chats and general conversations are not.

  • BK27467381 BK (@BK27467381) reported

    @yhummabanilla OmG i paid for standard gas fee and its the same issues, can you check your fb messenger please

  • aimeeb cancel culture (@aimeeb) reported from Sebring, Florida

    so angry at facebook messenger not working

  • vmlemon Tyson Key (@vmlemon) reported

    @WaseemAlkurdi I'm still amazed by how **** FB Messenger is. An IM client/service shouldn't be able to consume more RAM, and CPU time, than an entire OS, running in QEMU...

  • le_friwi Greg 🇳🇿🇲🇫 (@le_friwi) reported

    Does anybody know how to get rid of FB Messenger contacts without having to reactivate FB? I avoid FB like the plague, only keeping it for the olds, siblings & best mate down on the farm. Advice would be gratefully accepted.

  • j_h_h_j J. H. (@j_h_h_j) reported

    4/x The FB Messenger dropdown routinely fails to load at all, stuck with just loading bar fades, going to the Messenger web app does not have this problem. This happened on a direct fiber drop w/ perfect connectivity elsewhere, so likely a devops scale issue or race condition bug

  • emmadanton123 Mrs D (@emmadanton123) reported

    @DFS Please can somone get in contact with me here or via the FB messenger service. We were informed of a 4 week delay around 6 weeks ago, and since then have heard nothing. Have tried to contact you to no avail!

  • valkyrie_mark Mark Anthony (@valkyrie_mark) reported

    Both Fb Messenger and Instagram is not working on my phone.
