New feature? One can now " report" private messsges.

My husband was telling me about a feature his company did for Alexa and how she follows his commands.

I cracked up. I hear all of the testing of products now that he is working at home.

So, I asked him, “Honey, are you Alexa’s boss?”

Imagine what our grandparents would think of modern technology?

My sweet grandmother freaked out when she saw me placing a popcorn bag in the microwave. She thought the bag was going to burn up! LOL

She would have really been blown away with Alexa!

I will never forget her being furious at my grandfather for buying a clothes dryer. She wanted to continue to hang her clothes on the line. She didn’t have a dishwasher, never wanted one. She made the most delicious coffee in an old white enamel percolator on the stove! I have my great aunt’s percolator. I love it!

BarbBrooklyn, thanks for the heads up on that.

I belong to another forum NextDoor and it took me awhile to realize that the downward arrow next to my posting contained all sorts of things. It's fun finding new things :)

You mean we couldn't do that before?

I recently reported a few private messages regarding opening up a carehome in the UK with claims of offering money for advice. Yeah, right. I didn’t respond and reported immediately.

I am like Alva. A block button would be fantastic for unwanted private messages.

I saw that. I didn't know it wasn't already there. I reported one that just said "Hi". New poster likely phishing for response who had also made a one word bizarre post on the forum itself. Gone in a day.
What I would long for, and love, would be a block button, where we don't even have to see such posters ever again. I love FB where I do mostly art, photography, sewing, crafts, etc. When trouble comes along you just press the block button, and never have to see them again anywhere. It's magic!

That’s not a new feature. It’s always been an option.

Thanks for the info Barb!
