    PayPal deducts a fee when you use them to donate. When using Facebook Messenger it has no fee so 100% of what you donate goes to help me share God'Love & HisWord with the least of these here in RedBluff!

    @stefsull I refuse to install facebook, any product, on my phone. If I post to Instagram, i download then delete. I have this extension on chrome on my mac desktop and use Twitter without issue. I’ve never installed facebook Messenger on my phone or my desktop.

  • ponderingisgood Naomi (@ponderingisgood) reported

    @RichardAScott The issue is that ultimately you have to go with the service that the people you want to talk to are on. I've been stuck with WA and Facebook Messenger for years just because there's no way I could convince everyone to move to a different service...

  • pepsicocom jb (@pepsicocom) reported

    @clarkiem76 @ringsau Yes, and WhatsApp plans a February terms of service update that further compromises user privacy. Some are surprised to learn WhatsApp and facebook messenger are two of the principal ways facebook uses to get at details of your contacts and the contacts of your contacts

  • DigitalJonathan Jonathan Phillips (@DigitalJonathan) reported from Bristol, England

    Help me network. I’m not comfortable with using WA or FB messenger any more, so will go wherever my network go. What are you thinking?

  • CAMURPHY Craig Murphy (@CAMURPHY) reported

    @mtaulty @WhatsApp Reading this and looking at the box image near the end, if we're on Fb messenger, it appears we're already signed up to the problem!

  • LadyMay007 Lady_May (@LadyMay007) reported

    @ASOS I’m waiting for a refund. My messages on your help page and Facebook messenger have been ignored for coming up to 2 weeks. I’d be cool if I was told it would take this long but that’s not the case. Can someone please assist? Thanks

  • Ros1eParsons Rosie Parsons (@Ros1eParsons) reported

    @PenelopePSK @ArgosHelpers That’s rubbish! I had a similar problem recently and the only way I got a response, was through FB messenger.

  • Monocotyledon Margaret Morgan ✒📚🌈 (@Monocotyledon) reported

    You say your “customer service team no longer monitors Twitter” and we should use Facebook messenger (no thanks!) or your website. There is a form there to contact you, but what’s the point when no one responds? (Ask me how I know.) 4/6

    i might cancel my phone service 🤔 i don’t message or call anyone besides my mom and tia but i can use Facebook messenger or something 🤔

  • LouiseC49324492 Louise Clarke (@LouiseC49324492) reported

    @GAMEHelps I have sent private DM, private Facebook messenger messages and a complaint through resolver yet have had no resolution or confirmation of return. Terrible customer service @GAMEHelps @GAMEdigital

  • Sheri1958 Sheryl Caldwell (@Sheri1958) reported

    @ltj6980 It is not parlors fault that you could not get into that account. Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Facebook messenger has made it to where people cannot login. I’m done with Twitter. If you do not believe the way they believe then we are not worth a **** to them

  • Spidaman1991 Spida-Man but still a zombie too 🕷🎃🧟‍♂️ (@Spidaman1991) reported

    @ZahiaKerr FB Messenger has problems with new European laws. Sorry. I have been writing you. I sent you a private message on WSFC. Missing you. 😔

    @grabph @grabph I cashed in from my mobile banking app and it's still not reflecting in my GrabPay. You customer service is terrible and no one is replying in FB messenger and email ticket is being ignored. (169109147)

    @techrodent @hardwarecanucks I have the same issue with FB Messenger, but it doesn't stop me from installing Signal and using it every time i get a chance.

  • ptfrd Peter Ford (@ptfrd) reported

    followed through properly. I am, and always have been, unenthusiastic about comms platforms that don't meet those criteria, like Facebook Messenger, Skype, WhatsApp, etc.. The biggest down-side I've seen is that you have to use your phone number as your identity (though this

    i replaced facebook messenger of the gods help me not mandatory) software

  • RhondaGrzyb Rhonda E Grzyb (@RhondaGrzyb) reported

    @thedailybeast @OsborneOsbeorn Can someone, anyone clarify. Is Parler down or not, as that is where further plans of insurrection are going on according to CNN just 30 mins. ago & those spreading videos on FB messenger of coming violence. Terrible...

  • canikhilesh Nikhilesh Nadkarni (@canikhilesh) reported from Panaji, Goa

    Considering privacy issues I deleted Facebook messenger. And will be switching soon to @signalapp from whatsapp

  • richardhullOEC Richard - OEC - Office Eye Candy (@richardhullOEC) reported

    @marcusbrig @signalapp Why? I’m generally confused by this - I can txt but most people seem to use WhatsApp or Facebook messenger - the only benefit of which that I can see is the group chat - maybe it’s an age thing? I’m not down with the kids am I?

  • sharat9211 Sharat Chandra (@sharat9211) reported

    @pranesh @jasjiv Yes but not after being told that the service is end to end encrypted. Facebook Messenger is not end to end encrypted, I think snapchat is not too. You can't say the chat is private and then start tracking who all I am chatting with.

  • AndyVittle Andrew Vittle (@AndyVittle) reported

    @ThePodNewport @JustEatUK just ordered 4 burgers and sides from you, missing one burger, and then no way to contact you to resolve the issue, the phone number goes to an answering machine. No response on Facebook messenger. Only thing to do is order again. Shocking service

  • wolf_woman_666 ☁️Wolfie☁️ (@wolf_woman_666) reported

    @NerdECrafter @Swinginthewolf I prefer using FB messenger... Is that a issue?

  • DeanVrable DV (@DeanVrable) reported

    @SolomonDefi @TheCryptoFool Can you help me convert the ETH I sent you to SLM? I sent email and FaceBook Messenger correspondence describing the problem.

  • AmandaHayes83 Amanda Hayes (@AmandaHayes83) reported

    @lidl_ireland Can someone please get back to me regarding my Facebook messenger issues. You are not following guidelines in your greenhills store. Failing your staff in several areas!!!

  • chrischris787 Chris (@chrischris787) reported

    @ZARA_Care I have been trying for ages to try and get through to somebody regarding a recent order. No reply’s to emails, WhatsApp or Facebook messenger. Please help!

  • chicpandoo PChatu (@chicpandoo) reported

    @wcathcart @WhatsApp Great for being transparent that you want to promote your mother ship with more back door entries to snoop in. The combination of Fb, fb messenger and now what's app is like a super venom to the privacy . Rather I would break down those I to different companies stay happy. Bye

  • craigjukes1 Craig Jukes (@craigjukes1) reported

    @musicMagpie That’s because you told me to do it via Facebook messenger. Are you going to address the issues? The phone has been sent today.
