WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram have all gone down in a major outage.
How long will Facebook be down? Company says it is aware of issue – but not why it has broken or when it will come back online
WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook have all gone down in a major outage.
The three apps – which are owned by Facebook and run on shared infrastructure – all completely stopped working shortly before 5pm (12pm EST). Other products that are part of the same family of apps, such as Facebook Workplace, also stopped working.
Visitors to the Facebook website simply saw an error page or a message that their browser could not connect. The WhatsApp and Instagram apps continued to work, but did not show new content, including any messages sent or received during the problems.
Facebook's outages happen relatively rarely but tend to be vast in their impact, not least because they affect three of the world's biggest apps.
The company is often cryptic about the causes of any issues, and does not tend to explain them even after they are fixed. In 2019, for instance, it suffered its biggest outage in years – and said only that it had “triggered an issue” during “routine maintenance operations”.
In a leaked transcript published in The Verge in 2019, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg noted that such outages are a “big deal”. Any problems can often lead people to start using competitors instead, he said, and noted that it can take “months” to win back trust and get people back on Facebook's platforms – if they come back at all.
A company spokesperson said that it apologised for the problem but gave no indication of why the outage began or how long it might take to fix.
“We're aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products,” spokesperson Andy Stone said on Twitter. “We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience.”
The same statement was posted shortly after on the official Facebook Twitter page.
Instagram also shared a similar update.
“Instagram and friends are having a little bit of a hard time right now, and you may be having issues using them,” it wrote on its communications page. “Bear with us, we're on it!”
And WhatsApp also updated users through its official Twitter account.
“We're aware that some people are experiencing issues with WhatsApp at the moment. We're working to get things back to normal and will send an update here as soon as possible,” it said.
“Thanks for your patience!”

Despite being renewed for a second season, “Bupkis” will not be returning to Peacock.
The semi-autobiographical comedy from former “Saturday Night Live” cast member Pete Davidson is coming to an end, he confirmed in a statement to Variety.
“I've always seen Bupkis as a window into my life, since it is so personal and about my struggles and family,” Davidson said. “After nearly a decade of my personal life being in the media I wanted a chance to tell my story my way. Of all the work I've ever done, Bupkis is by far what I'm most proud of.”
Davidson also expressed his gratitude “to Lorne Michaels and Broadway Video, Peacock, Universal Television and the amazing cast and writers for helping me create something honest, funny and heartfelt.”
“I do also feel that this part of my life is finished,” Davidson continued. “I'm very excited for this next chapter and for you guys to see the work. Thank you to all who support me for I am forever grateful.”
CNN has reached out to representatives for Davidson.
The series in which Davidson played a fictionalized version of himself premiered last May on the Peacock streaming service and costarred Edie Falco and Joe Pesci.
