  • asif3058 Asif Mahmud (@asif3058) reported

    How can I contact @airtransat ? Calling them for last three days, no one is picking up even after two hours. Don't have any response in Facebook Messenger as well. Ridiculous service

  • Neildxb Neil Carrick (@Neildxb) reported

    Got a response at 12:50pm on Facebook messenger promising help. Gave my details immediately, then no response for further 5 hours @AerLingus this after 3 hrs waiting on customer helpline ????

  • MrsCrieffy Sharon M (@MrsCrieffy) reported

    @BootsUK Am really disappointed. My order from 8th June, that I paid for with my precious points, has never been dispatched. I've tried emailing customer service, calling (hung up after 30 mins on hold) and Facebook messenger and NO-ONE will respond to me.

  • ClaytonsKitten @VKTreasure is boosted *ANX, PTSD* (She/Her) (@ClaytonsKitten) reported

    Super grateful for the @MyStraightTalk customer service team via FB Messenger today. They were able to help me redeem reward points & ensure autopay stayed on even when I was having website issues AND callback wasn't working! Saving $$ next month is going to be a real blessing.

  • zieszyyy (@zieszyyy) reported

    My fb messenger holds a lot of bad memories to me and I'm only keeping it because I have relatives contacting me there but I don't want to use it as my work profile or even give me my personal one... How ??? Help😭

  • JohnIvan27 Ivan (@JohnIvan27) reported

    @PLDT_Cares hello PLDT, is there someone from your technical team that can help with my internet? I already drop a message on your pldt cares fb messenger no one is assisting me.

  • KarenzBotz Fun with Bots (@KarenzBotz) reported

    Determining where you reveal to help are far from Facebook Messenger app, Woebot and implied knowledge: Recognizing that

  • GMaggiordomo Jordan B (@GMaggiordomo) reported

    @GDL180 Webcam picture quality makes for a far better experience. Personally, I prefer Nakka's in built video service as this also offers better video quality than FB Messenger

  • jpums jude p🍞 (@jpums) reported

    Are any android users out there having problems with their fb messenger apps too??

  • ilCacciatore_72 James Breuer (@ilCacciatore_72) reported

    @messenger @facebook @Apple So on my iPad Pro, someone sent me their resume in the Facebook Messenger application. I can easily open the file and review it, but completely missing in action is the “save to files” button. Searched everywhere for it and just can’t find it. Help pls

  • _atjn Anton 🇺🇦🇪🇺 (@_atjn) reported

    @AdaRoseCannon @samsunginternet It's the same problem with many messaging apps, such as Facebook Messenger.

  • MomWifeWine Sarah Barkley | Freelance Writer (@MomWifeWine) reported

    I also have my Facebook account set up to require a unique code to login each time. That code goes to my phone. If I'm tempted to message my bestie on FB messenger, I can't even login without going downstairs. I know it seems crazy but it helps me stay focused.

  • x_SHIZZ_x S H i Z Z 🧡 (@x_SHIZZ_x) reported from Paisley, Scotland

    Hurry up n fix Facebook messenger 🙄 @facebook

  • CaptainRocket59 Captain Rocket (@CaptainRocket59) reported

    Flew into Newcastle two weeks ago with @KLM_UK and one bag didn't turn up. Put in the claim form at the airport and then made an inventory online. So 2 WEEKS on and after no help on FB messenger I called KLM today. Two calls of 17 and 38 mins and still nothing. TOTALLY USELESS!!

  • Anshley20 Anshley (@Anshley20) reported

    @instagram my Instagram account was disabled @jimmysley I have not violet any terms or rules. Please I need my account urgently it's link with Facebook messenger everything I can't use my phone. Please help me activate my accounts. It's a mistake by Instagram. Please help

  • WitchyVirgil 🔮VictoriaTheWitch🔮 (@WitchyVirgil) reported

    My mom, who regularly sends herself recipes on FB Messenger, thought it would be a good idea to hit the "delete conversation" button on her messages to herself and now guess who has to figure out how to get them back after they got flushed down the Zucc's toilet?

  • MagicGamerBunny Bunny 🔞 (@MagicGamerBunny) reported

    @FateCharms Yeah I can't connect either, I assumed it was my ****** wifi at first, but Facebook Messenger and all my games work fine. So I'm assuming it must be having a server issue again or something.

  • denim1997s 🧜🏻‍♀️ (@denim1997s) reported

    @quizclothing Hi I need help with a return I’m not getting my email through so I have no QR code and your fb messenger isn’t helping me at all

  • Greg_Gordon Greg Gordon (@Greg_Gordon) reported

    @chrislhayes Sorry… What the heck is FB Messenger and why would anyone ever use such a terrible app that’s used by Zuck to track you and mine your personal data?!?

  • magdagrusznis Maggie Che (@magdagrusznis) reported

    @DollarCars Hi, I just sent the information via twitter messenger. As you'll see in my note this is not my first attempt. I've made phone calls, uploaded information using Dollar's online customer service page and via Facebook messenger. Now I'm trying Twitter to help resolve this.

  • leah_t99 leah t (@leah_t99) reported

    @boohoo I am absolutely astounded with how my order situation is being dealt with via Facebook messenger. The issue is not being resolved and I’m being told to do things that are only convenient to you. This is the third time in a few months I’ve had to deal with this issue.

  • zumbaNat Natalie Dance (@zumbaNat) reported

    @TravelRepublic I sent you all the relevant details 3 days ago, through your Facebook messenger. Have yet to receive a response. Once again, severely lacking in customer service!

  • lwmedium Lisa Williams (@lwmedium) reported

    There's no-one at the airport to help. @AerLingus is still not answering phone calls or responding to FB messenger. My assistant DMs through Twitter but there's no response. I'm in missing baggage limbo: a few thousand dollars worth of my clothes & personal items have vanished.

  • ecowlin Emma Barley (@ecowlin) reported

    @newlook can someone please help with my query. I have been charged twice for an item - I am not getting an answer via WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger

  • XNobodysGhostX •Kisuke's•Ghost• (@XNobodysGhostX) reported

    Am I the only one having problems with Facebook messenger not letting you know you have calls and messages

  • Your_Sky_Daddy YourSkyDaddy ~ STAN VTUBERS (@Your_Sky_Daddy) reported

    I can never relate to "discord going down" posts cuz I never have people to talk to on it. My Boomer *** still uses fb messenger to chat to my gf and bestie. I'm basically an IFunny Minions meme away from turning crusty 💀

  • battybatsqueak doomguy simp (@battybatsqueak) reported

    Update: pasting the codes into fb messenger and discord and then copying them from there seems to "fix" whatever inherent thing about them that Google docs breaks
