    The most annoying thing is… People can use more than one app. You can say “well, if you wanna talk to me, I’ll be on this messenger here.” And thats how you get them through the door.

    It’s really shouldn’t be that hard, yet it feels like asking someone to pull their teeth out.

      I am relatively tech literate and I have troubles remembering every canal I have to use to join all of my contacts. I have like 6 or 7 different ones.

      Meanwhile, my father can’t remember one password to save his life, and my grandfather tries answering the phone on a TV remote. Good luck with that.

        The people who refuse to get off Facebook can contact me via text. Everyone has a cell phone. I’ve never had Facebook and never will. I’m not putting my face or personal info online and I’m not ever going to bend on that. If they can’t accept that and compromise on how we communicate then they can GTFO of my life.

      I swear this happens to me every single year, and I honestly don’t know if Facebook is intercepting my messages because I don’t know where the confusion comes from (aside my old brain not remembering the name of Facebook products):

      “I’ll send you a text message with the address”

      “I don’t see anything in messenger”

      “What? what’s messenger? I’m sending you a text message on the phone. Look at your phone”

      “I’m looking at the phone I still don’t see anything in messenger”

      “What’s messenger???”

      “I use it for all my messages”

      “…and this is from Samsung?”

      “No it’s Facebook”
