I really use messenger to talk to all my little nieces and nephews who don’t have fully working phones unless it’s connected to WiFi so being able to facebook messenger FaceTime call them brings me so much joy!! lol I can’t wait for my little humans to get real phones but until then thank you messenger for allowing a safe space for our little humans to still have access to technology they’re parents use but with safety protocols put in place 🥰🥰

My regular phone wasn’t working
Patricia J C
So this was awesome to have this available to me! I had WhatsApp for about two weeks and then that shut down because you have to have your phone active after two weeks and I didn’t so this was a godsend and I was able to communicate with all my peeps until I got a new phone. Then I got a new phone and someone stole that phone. I’m like are you kidding me crazy what such luck?😏🥩
