Facebook, Instagram, Messenger are now back up after the global outage

Update: This article has been updated with Instagram's official tweet that confirmed the global outage. The issue has been fixed and all the services are functioning normally.

Looks like Facebook, Instagram and Messenger are facing outages for many users around the globe.

The issue has been seen across the world, although, it does not appear to affect all users the same. The affected areas include the US East Coast, Central Europe, and East Asia, and India.

We were unable to load the Facebook page for a while. However, it started to load after a few tries but we could only see the cover image. Rest of the profile page was inaccessible.

Reports are similar for Instagram. A few minutes past 7 pm IST, Instagram's down reports surged with 51 percent users reporting issues regarding the News Feed, 44 percent about log-ins and 3 percent about the website.

While there aren't many reports about Messenger being down, but DownDetector does show many reports about the app as well. Some users on Twitter also posted about the app.

Obviously, Facebook and its products being down means a lot of yuzh Twitter spam about it.


After people pointed out the issue, Instagram tweeted saying they are aware of the issue and are working on it. This was followed by another tweet that confirmed that the issue has been fixed.
