    @TelkomZA I am now desperate!! I have been trying since beginning of April to get hold of someone to help me. Messenger, Twitter, Facebook posts over and over. No response other than being asked for my ID & number on messenger and then being ignored. Don’t just threaten me, help!

    @messenger Can you please advise if there is an issue with the Facebook Messenger app for Apple Watch as I now get this error ‘Log in from the paired iPhone’ I have uninstalled and reinstalled with no joy. Both phone and watch are up to date software wise!

  • pgillooly Patrick Gillooly (@pgillooly) reported from Waltham, Massachusetts

    @Smoore1117 Someone will solve the shoot-the-shit problem as it becomes financially prudent because the market has shifted. FB’s Messenger Rooms announcement is the start.

  • PamLibraswim Pam Reynecke (@PamLibraswim) reported from Umdloti, Province of KwaZulu-Natal

    @TelkomZA Please, please get a real live person from Telkom to contact me. I desperately need to discuss my account. FB messenger and Facebook posts, sms line, whatsapp line plus telephone line with self service don’t help me.

  • KathleenAHall ✨Katie✨ (@KathleenAHall) reported from Anchorage Municipality, Alaska

    @aproefrock Yeah I keep telling Banky that bc not only does he have an Android but his phone service/plan is HORRIBLE and iMessage would be extremely helpful. You and Steve should use fb messenger though at least then the messages don’t delete!

  • heyjohnnathan John Nathan (@heyjohnnathan) reported from Plymouth Outreach Clinic, Massachusetts

    I haven’t looked at FB for 48 hours aside from Messenger and I think I’m going to continue for a month. My productivity is up. My stress is down. I have 0 clue what some random Uncle Gary has to say about “OBAMAGATE”. Life is good.

  • scottwilson1988 Scott Wilson (@scottwilson1988) reported from Helmsley, England

    @EvansCycles please get someone to get in touch about my order please. Your website seems to be a joke except for taking people’s money. How can I get in touch about my order if live chat doesn’t work, Facebook messenger doesn’t work and phones don’t work.Poor customer service

  • MarcBramhill ~Marc~ (@MarcBramhill) reported from Salford, England

    This morning sees the launch of the governments new track and trace system to help control the outbreak. Last night the Facebook Messenger app randomly asked me to confirm my phone number. I’m sure the two are utterly unrelated #tinfoilhattime

  • djbressler David Bressler 🐘 💵 (@djbressler) reported from Manhattan, New York

    @stevesi Steve, I’ve only used outlook and teams at this point. Though the worst offender is Facebook messenger so far. It’s fascinating. Because so many less visible companies do so much worse without realizing. I spend my days trying to help ppl understand. 🤜🏼🙏🏻

  • mcdopotatoes 𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙮🌜 (@mcdopotatoes) reported from Makati City, National Capital Region

  • axewhyzack13 Ikhsan (@axewhyzack13) reported from Dengkil, Selangor

    @Celcom I think your DNS have issues.. To load apps that have no need to access dns, it works fine (twitter, fb, messenger apps), but when I try to browse through websites, it starts to either fail completely or slowed down way too much.
