    The way to solve the stupid @Facebook messenger tied to IG issue? Delete the FB app! Done. Nothing else worked.

  • poodlespad Alison Walker (@poodlespad) reported

    @EONhelp the online chat isn't working, no reply to FB messenger, and on hold for 67 minutes only to hear someone put the phone down - how on earth am I supposed to get in contact with you?

  • Naturetakeshers Natureis (@Naturetakeshers) reported

    Why do we support having ten different ways to contact each other? Call, text, email, Fb messenger, google the address and knock on door, postal service. It’s ******* exhausting. Isn’t anyone else exhausted of maintaining all this? Why are we acquiescencing?

    @BrianMSTL If it’s more for a personal level, the Facebook messenger group video chat isn’t terrible.

  • DomSkyeRN Social Distancing Dom (@DomSkyeRN) reported

    I forward items I see that I like to Rob’s fb messenger just to save them to look over later. This guy was thinking it was a shopping list and was about to go down the line purchasing 💀 💀

  • lyvluvbaila Yvonne (@lyvluvbaila) reported

    @SA_Survival Been going on a month and I can’t get anyone to resolve my simple issue. Tried calling(no one answers), email, live chat(no one is live), and FB messenger. I wouldn’t purchase anything from SA. If you receive a defective item like I did they will not make it right.

  • 3Ljosejose Jose Olascoaga (@3Ljosejose) reported

    @tiktok_us cant open your links on FB messenger. Anyone else having that issue? Uninstalled reinstalled tik tok and FB messenger, nada. Hheeeeelllllllp!!

  • cakekicker Cake Kicker (@cakekicker) reported

    All viruses inherently serve a purpose. The virus spread through Facebook Messenger “Are you in this video??!” From a hacked account serves a purpose. It spreads naturally. Click the link and redirect to a fake Facebook page login, “requiring you to authenticate your account”
