It's not you it's then: Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp down for some users.
Facebook and its related networks, Instagram and Whatsapp, experienced an outage that prevented some users from accessing either the entire service or some functionality within the service.
No word yet on how many users are experiencing issues or for how long, though it does look like the problems have been or are rapidly being resolved.
In a statement to The Verge, Facebook said:
"a technical issue," was the cause of the issue, and that the company is "currently restoring service for everyone."
Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram have all been fine for me this morning. If you've been experiencing problems with any of those services, or with Whatsapp, let me know in the comments. Also let me know when they start working for you again.

Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are down. Are you affected?
i dont even noticed...lol
Haven't noticed it.
Q: Are you affected?
A: Not a single **** has been given that day =)
Still can't post anything on my Instagram account.
i've severly cut back my visits to Windows Central. most of all the articles seem to be rush jobs to promote clicks (basically bloatware) and thus the quality of articles has dropped. for example...
What is INSTRAGRAM?
How is a spelling error not caught in an article's title?!.
been wanting to say this for quite some time. saw the spelling error and jumped at the opportunity.
Majority of people didn't notice that.
The human mind will most likely think the spelling was ok.
I have to agree with you. Article quality is hit or miss. And I'm really tired of the filler articles that just promote forum posts.
When you go for job interview you have so perfect at this stuff. But yet others get away with these basic errors.
Or the opening line."it's not you its THEN"
Take some care in your work
Noticed. Moved on.
i couldn't access Facebook for a few hours. The website wouldn't open at all. Strange thing is it wouldn't open in Chrome but in Firefox it worked!
Facebook, Instragram, and WhatsApp are down.
The best thing that happened to the world in a long time.
2 billion people disagree with you, but what do they know :P
We know one thing, most of them couldn't communicate in person with other human beings.
You're wrong there.
Facebook, whatsapp etc are additional means of communication. Even for those who communicate in person
I dont use any of those services.
obviously the question was addressed to those who do
No, the question was "Are you affected?" There's no qualifier.
Interesting when one company that owns so much affects so many when down! Wish more people were on Telegram!
I have hundreds of facebook friends and none of them have ever heard of or used Telegram
I have been on operational outage call since noon EST. There various outages across the internet and not just the websites you mentioned some of these impacting some ecommerce sites. Most should have recoved by now but there are periodic issues. Not sure if it is because of the storm in TX and networks changing to mitigate or assist in relief efforts but there are various brown outs.
As far as Facebook outage, who cares, we would probably better if it was down for days.
Only Messenger app was down for me. Everything else was OK.
Instagram was definitely down for me 3-4hours ago...
No, can't say I use any of those.
Ok grandpa
Get off my lawn, and I mean it. What will all the poor milienials do with their life now besides lay around, be lazy and expect everyone to do everything for them? Someday they may have to actually do things for themselves and quit relying on their parents to hold their hands for the while they go to the bathroom.
A man after my own heart. I'm glad to say that my life was also not placed on hold due to a stupid website going down. =P
Me too. I did not know these services were down until I saw the news. And to Lazgeor, the internet is not just Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp.
What's Facebook?
+1 :-)
Like
book that contains rubbing of faces.
They were down for a short time earlier, around 4pm UK time
So for a short time... people actually... talked face to face? holy crap!
