Hi there! I see you're having trouble finding a way to contact the giver of an item on the Freebie Alerts app. Let’s get this straightened out together.

Can you tell me more about what you’ve tried so far? For example, have you clicked on the item notification or tried tapping on the item listing? Sometimes the contact details are linked there directly.

Meanwhile, here’s a basic step-by-step on how to usually contact the giver on Freebie Alerts:

1. When you receive a notification or see an item listing you’re interested in, tap on that item.
2. The app should display the item’s details, including how to contact the giver, usually a phone number, email, or a message button.
3. If the contact info is not clearly visible, look for a “Get this freebie” or “Contact giver” button—tapping this often connects you to the user or shows instructions on how to reach them.

If none of these options are visible or the contact information is missing, it might be due to the original post’s privacy settings or a temporary glitch in the app.

Also, keep in mind that Freebie Alerts aggregates listings from places like Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, and Nextdoor, so sometimes you may need to look for contact details on those original platform listings.

If you’ve already done these, please let me know what you see when you tap on an item, and I can guide you further!

Would you like me to help you with troubleshooting any app glitches or guide you through the app interface on your Android WebKit device with Android 10?

Looking forward to your reply!

Yes I ve done everything youv said

Thanks for letting me know you’ve already tried the usual steps. Since the typical contact info or button isn't showing up for you, let’s try a few more focused troubleshooting steps specific to the Freebie Alerts app on your Android 10 WebKit browser environment:

1. Clear App Cache and Data:
- Go to your device’s Settings > Apps (or Apps & Notifications) > find Freebie Alerts.
- Tap on Storage.
- Tap “Clear Cache” first.
- If the contact info still does not appear, return and tap “Clear Data” (this will reset the app so you may need to log in or set preferences again).

2. Check for App Updates:
- Sometimes bugs get fixed in updates. Open Google Play Store, search Freebie Alerts, and update if available.

3. Reinstall the App:
- Uninstall Freebie Alerts and reinstall it fresh. This often fixes glitches with missing features like contact details.

4. Check Network Settings:
- Make sure your internet connection is stable (Wi-Fi or data).
- Sometimes network restrictions or VPNs may block parts of the app.

5. Review Privacy or Permissions Settings:
- Ensure Freebie Alerts has the necessary permissions (especially storage and network) enabled on your device.
- Also check if any app privacy or security apps might be blocking information.

6. Try via Web or Alternative Platforms:
- Since Freebie Alerts aggregates listings from places like Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist, try checking the original listing on those platforms via a browser.
- The app’s link to the original post may sometimes provide the giver’s contact info.

If none of these steps reveal the contact details, it could be an issue specific to the listing or a temporary app limitation.

As a last resort, you can also reach out to Freebie Alerts support directly at [email protected], providing them the item info and describing your problem—they might be able to assist specifically with your account and listings4.

Would you like instructions on how to clear cache and data on your specific device, or help with any of the above steps? Let me know!

Are you satisfied with this troubleshooting plan so far?

It gives the address were to pick up the item but it says to message first but it don't say how to message

Thanks for the extra details! It sounds like the item listing on Freebie Alerts shows the pickup address along with a note saying "message first," but it doesn't clearly explain how to message the giver. This is actually something I've seen before, and it’s because Freebie Alerts acts as an aggregator—it pulls listings from sites like OfferUp, Craigslist, Letgo, or Facebook Marketplace, but the messaging itself usually takes place on those original platforms.

Here’s how you can usually contact the giver for the item pickup:

1. Look for a “Get It now in [Platform]” button on the item post within Freebie Alerts. This button takes you directly to the original listing on platforms like OfferUp, Craigslist, or Letgo.

2. Once you’re on the original platform page (for example, OfferUp), look for a button like “Ask” or “I am interested” to send a message to the seller/giver. That’s where you can start the communication asking about pickup details or confirming.

3. If it’s Craigslist, there’s often an email link included on the listing page you can click to send a message.

4. In some cases, the poster leaves a phone number or email in the original listing, but the Freebie Alerts app itself does not handle messaging directly.

So essentially, Freebie Alerts points you to the original listing where you can “message first” as requested. This video on Freebie Alerts’ Facebook page shows the process clearly:
- Tap the “Get It now in OfferUp” button, then tap “Ask” on OfferUp to send your message1.
- For Craigslist items, tap the button to open Craigslist and copy the email link to message the giver2.

Since you’re on an Android device using a WebKit browser, it might help to open the item in those native apps (OfferUp, Craigslist app) if you have them installed. Otherwise, the links should open in your browser directly.

If you don’t see any “Get It now” button or link to the original site, and the listing just shows the address with no other instructions, it might be worth checking if the post is incomplete or a rare case where the giver prefers in-person contact only.

Would you like me to guide you through locating the “Get It now” button or help you open the original listings on your device? Also, could you share if you see any such buttons on your current listing?
