    @ryankett @Yorkshire_Party Facebook Messenger you mean with you personally on a one to one basis? Maybe I didn't there, we used to talk, like I've said I sent an email to the Exec like I always used to no one got back to me so I followed what I was told by your deputy. Where is the problem in that? 1/2

    I have a Facebook Marketplace question and I need help! I listed an item for sale and instead of sending a message through the chat function within marketplace for the listing, I’ve been getting message requests in my Facebook messenger. Is this normal?

    @cath_nz @silkehartung @markeasterbrook We used to use Skype to video call me sister, but the quality of the calls were often shoddy af. And then we had many issues with logins, etc. Swapped to FB messenger for video calling, never looked back.

    Hey @screenwithenvy , you’ve closed down our FB Messenger chat and we’ve not finished yet. I’ve just had fence posts delivered but no screens. Where are they?

  • JAdawgity Johnny (@JAdawgity) reported

    @cogecohelps @cogeco Hi Cole, actually you helped me earlier by Facebook messenger. Turns out it was indeed an area issue. Glad I pressed on this and that you could help but my goodness 7 days of disconnects ever 10 minutes was overwhelming. Glad it was finally fixed.

  • Vikimtourer Vikim (@Vikimtourer) reported

    @joshgnosis She didn't have the money for a lawyer and sent an affidavit, so she lost. This lawyer I have heard has sent concerns notices through Facebook messenger. I have also heard other things as well but won't say as I don't want any legal issues.

  • VKvinna 🌿Vild Kvinna🌿 (@VKvinna) reported

    There has got to be a viable way to send videos from iPhone to Android. Discord limits media size. FB Messenger is FB and FB is dumb. Snapchat is a terrible app. Why is this so hard? 😡

  • RoseanneReilly6 Roseanne Reilly (@RoseanneReilly6) reported

    @AerLingus @DublinAirport Anyone there to help if you lose baggage? Waiting 10 weeks. It’s lovely to promise help, but be really good if you could actually help. Can’t get through on email, phone, Facebook messenger is just a bot, help would be great. Really great.. 7639015

  • laurabethsalter Laura-Beth Salter (@laurabethsalter) reported

    Some arse has hacked my fb messenger and sent all of my contacts a message asking for help. Please ignore it, all is well other than the battle of the lightning speed password changes happening here! Hackers be gone! (They must love photos of kelvingrove Park and mandolins)

  • adrllvr colleen martin (@adrllvr) reported

    @Macys do you provide customer service over FB messenger?

  • michaeltreder Michael Treder (@michaeltreder) reported

    @fizz_ca you're ignoring me on FB messenger and your website tells me to DM you here, but I can't, so I'll do it this way I just had my internet setup today, but it was unable to be connected, and the technician told me to contact you to see if it was the router. Can you help?

  • michaelrfrench Michael French (@michaelrfrench) reported

    Y'all don't complain that you can unsend messages on IG, FB Messenger, Whatsapp, Telegram but now all of a sudden it's a problem because Apple is putting it in iMessage?

    @ludwigtab @DrBryanLeyva The doctors were also allowed to be on their private Facebook messenger accounts while seeing patients. Nurses were never much better in the hospital when I was a tech/aide. There is a serious hierarchy problem in healthcare. I left b/c of a lot of that.

  • RayCombs16 Ray Combs (@RayCombs16) reported

    It’s been three years since I charged up a cellular. I got hacked every time I tried to use Facebook Messenger and a lot of robo calling. I charged the cell up to get service on it, it began robo calling 800 numbers…click
