Hi all, I've tried everything for my messenger to work and it just won't. Every other app works including Facebook, there's no updates to be done to my phone or messenger but my messages won't send and I get random ones through from ages ago. I know it's not important to some people and I know we all have much bigger problems but my mum isn't well (not Covid) and it's my only way to speak to her (her phone is broken so she's on a laptop and I only have a phone) and I just want to talk to her Sad I've turned my phone on and off, deleted and reinstalled but nothing. WiFi is definitely fine as I've ordered stuff on amazon an hour ago but it's really frustrating me, of all of the apps right now Sad does anyone have any advice?

FB messenger is down today, it's not just you! It will be up and running soon I'm sure.

No, it's not just you.

No, mine isn't working. At least, messages are getting through but taking around ten mins!

Facebook, Instagram and Messenger down as apps crash for thousands of users www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/uk-world-news/facebook-instagram-messenger-down-apps-23146084

The app is down so definitely not just you. Hopefully you can speak to your mum soon 💐

frustratedbox · 10/12/2020 12:05

Okay, thanks both. I know there's much bigger things on atm but I panic if I can't speak to my mum at the moment.

If you're mum has a laptop, could you use Zoom instead? She only needs a link sent from you and it can be used through her normal browser Flowers

Cherryblossomandcornflakes · 10/12/2020 12:08

I'm the same, frustratedbox. Hope you can get through soon

unicornsarereal72 · 10/12/2020 12:14

Glad it's not just me

Nonamesavail · 10/12/2020 13:45

Can you switch to email as this is likely to happen again.

helloxhristmas · 10/12/2020 13:49

It's down, on the news. Mine is unaffected in SE but obviously affecting others.

OrangeSquashPlease · 10/12/2020 14:07

Mines down, frustrating as DDs off school atm and I need to arrange stuff with her dad so I can go back to work next week and thats the only way we talk to each other. I'm sure it'll be sorted by tomorrow though

Definitely do Zoom. There's a phone app as well as a laptop one. It's free, and you can have 40 minute 'calls' for free too.
