  • tashalharrison Tasha L. Harrison (@tashalharrison) reported

    Y’all probably aren’t aware that service members and their families use whatsapp and FB messenger to chat/video w/ each other when they’re overseas because using cellphone data is stupid expensive either, huh? Whew! Y’all reek.

  • Athena99680371 Athena (@Athena99680371) reported

    @talk2GLOBE I already tried everything! FB messenger- no response. 211-routing me to self service option, -Globe at home app- already requested termination, still no action

  • emkey Mark Lacsamana (@emkey) reported

    Thank you @LiveSmart because of the abysmal customer service trying to prove to you guys that I paid my bill last sept 30, I spent 4 hours of my work day going back and forth with your different departments (including 2 hours with fb messenger chat)

  • InquisitorVawn Inquisitor Vawn (@InquisitorVawn) reported

    "Phones can call phone numbers, you don't need facebook messenger/whatsapp" I come from Australia and moved to Wales. My whole family is in Australia. I made a call to Australia on my mobile phone to deal w/ a banking issue once. I was directed to that number through my bank app

  • JungleSilicon Silicon Jungle (@JungleSilicon) reported

    @nathan_k There is also a problem of trusting the services consuming the content. e.g. signal v.s fb messenger. It could potentially be like someone that is not in your contact's list on FB requesting to send you a message, etc.

  • amdigitaltech A & M Digital Tech (@amdigitaltech) reported

    It appears that Facebook Messenger is experiencing issues of logging people out and won't let you log back in. It looks like we aren't out of the woods yet with the Facebook issues. #facebookdown #Messengerdown

    @saunieindiego If FB Messenger wasn’t also down I would have never known.

    FB messenger not working again. #facebookdown

  • lomba_pierre Lomba Pierre (@lomba_pierre) reported

    @tapairportugal . What is this for a client service ? Your website crashes , you don’t answer neither on Facebook messenger nor Twitter. You cancelled my flights last year and forced me getting vouchers instead of a reimbursement. Now that I want to use they don’t work…

  • SandyBandcamp Sandy Bandcamp (@SandyBandcamp) reported

    @Stonekettle I use the Facebook messenger only to maintain a few contacts. I was barely affected by the outage but the fear of its implication was palpable for me. I can’t imagine how many folks were feeling as if just blowing in the wind for that time. As for zoom…I can answer a call.

  • Celynaire Celyn Sarte (@Celynaire) reported

    @talk2GLOBE 7 days and my phone line is still down. I have privately messaged you, reported my issue at Globe at home app, FB messenger, emailed you, called you on your non existent help desk but I still didn't get any help.

  • Namekakyahe Name mai Kya rakha he (@Namekakyahe) reported

    Facebook messenger down #Facebook

  • serialhobbyist1 Marty Walsh (@serialhobbyist1) reported

    A warning about @Facebook messenger: if someone is added to your group chat, they’ll be able to see the ENTIRE history, & will CONTINUE to see it even if you remove them. And there is no way to delete a chat history. Learned this with 29 adds to a 4 yr old chat. Terrible design.

  • eannAlmario Grace-Ann A. (@eannAlmario) reported

    Cant login to my facebook messenger.... 😠

  • mbarbarska Marysia Barbarska (@mbarbarska) reported

    @Coles Morning! Does anyone monitor your FB messenger? An autobot sends msgs but then there is no response. Issue is multiple flybuys points not added to my account.

  • tescomobile Tesco Mobile (@tescomobile) reported

    @tadman_steve I'm very sorry about this, Steve. I believe we're also talking via Facebook Messenger, if you would like to continue messaging me there and I will help you further ☺ - Callum

  • blacktiget4life merpy (@blacktiget4life) reported

    @CinnamonMelody2 @handmadebyjaia @lostblackboy Idk as I’m currently not there but many others don’t have it. We couldn’t message a vet or anything yesterday to help save my dog and relied on possibly expired pills to do it. It doesn’t matter if one has it if you can’t reach anyone else. It’s WhatsApp or fb messenger there.

  • KatyaCobham KC (@KatyaCobham) reported

    @lostblackboy This was exactly my problem. My mom and I communicate thru fb messenger or WhatsApp, we couldn’t talk all day and she is elderly and not in good health. We did use email but it’s not the same.

  • widowlifecrisis Pam | Widow Life Crisis (@widowlifecrisis) reported

    When FB Messenger went down I couldn't talk to my husband When it came back I still couldn't talk to him cause he's dead

    @Facebook Messenger going down again???? Messenger.. its ******..i cant logging my account

  • Jasonnadeau Jason Nadeau (@Jasonnadeau) reported

    Facebook messenger and WhatsApp is down for hours yesterday. In addition to the continued investigations into Facebooks business practices. Grand total new numbers in Signal for me? Zero. Bothersome to think about.

  • jerabean Jera Foster-Fell (@jerabean) reported

    @NastyGal @NastyGalHelp reaching out via twitter as a last resort since I have been ignored by customer support since Sep 10 via email, and unresponded to via FB messenger. Nasty Gal owes me money due to a mistake made on your end. Can someone on the team plz help me with this?

  • BetsyHavard BetsyHavard (@BetsyHavard) reported

    @lansberry_alli @pulte Don't reply to the person that said they can help you recover your account! But does @pulte send to FB messenger? Or Twitter DM's? I thought Twitter.
