Most complaints involve unresolved order issues, account blocks, and unresponsive support. Users report being blocked without clear reasons, sometimes over minor problems like phone damage or vehicle changes. Many cannot reach live agents or get timely replies. A few positive reviews highlight fast, respectful service, but these are rare. No monthly sentiment history is available, but current data shows consistent poor resolution and lack of support responsiveness.

How it has changed over time

No monthly history data is available to assess changes in customer service over time. The dataset does not include time-stamped reviews. Therefore, it is impossible to determine whether service quality has improved or declined. Claims about trends in service performance cannot be verified from the available evidence.

Practical takeaways

iFood’s customer service is unreliable and should be avoided unless necessary. Users who face issues should save photos and messages as proof, since some positive reviews show problems were resolved only after clear evidence was provided. The app functions well and delivery quality is generally good, but support is inconsistent. Long wait times or no response are common, especially for account access or order disputes.
