Outages Reported Across Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger

[MacRumors]

Facebook services including Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Facebook itself are all currently suffering outages, based on user reports posted to social media.

The majority of issues appear to be focused in European countries, but problems have also been reported in other countries, too, suggesting even more widespread outages.

Users of the Facebook-owned apps report issues connecting to the platforms, leaving them unable to post or access news feeds, direct messages, and stories.

Facebook hasn't responded to the reports of widespread connection issues yet, but we'll update this article with any further developments.

Wow, that results of that lawsuit were quick!

Tried sending an Instagram DM about a hour ago here in U.S. and it claimed it went through but then disappeared. And the message is just gone for some reason. So I would assume part of the issue since had no issues til this morning.

The FTC sure works fast these days.

The top level facebook technicians in China are already working on a fix, should be ok soon.

It's been super annoying, been trying to chat with people tonight!

I can confirm that Messanger in Facebook is showing "Connectiing..." for hours, or "No internet connection".

Everything else seems to be working and I'm receiving notifications of replies and reactions to my posts there.

Will be a nice mental health day if the outage continues.

Tens of millions of kids will go elsewhere.

Not for me. I'm going through a tough time mentally and not being able to talk to people isn't helping

Hope the competitive services are ready for a huge influx of new users. Can anyone say MySpace Who? Facebook Who?

Perhaps folks can maybe go outside, get a bit of fresh air, see the world with their eyes instead of through a smartphone.

Zuck isn't zuckin' around anymore.....see what happens when you threaten the almighty Social Media Emperor!!!!

Edit: About a week ago, FB simply would not accept a post from me for about an hour. Maybe this was in early example? Wash DC area.

 

[Unsupported]

I haven't been able to send a photo via web.whatsapp.com...

 

[DinkThifferent]

Fortunately MySpace and Path are not offline!

 

[lighthouse16]

That explains all the new contacts in Telegram

 

[otternonsense]

That alone is good grounds to decouple the three services again. Maybe it will also save Instagram from the dark UX nightmare it has become.

I already do that, but fb keeps me in touch with people I can't see in person.

Instagram and WhatsApp work fine for me here in Germany.

Fingers crossed it’s permanent

Fingers crossed it’s permanent

Why? Many of rely on it to communicate with friends and loved ones.

FB messenger is down here in Greece. Can only chat through browser.

 

[rmoliv]

Fingers crossed it’s permanent

My thoughts exactly.

Good for humanity

Good for humanity

What, people can't communicate and thats somehow good for humanity?
