No, you are not alone. Late this afternoon, Facebook-powered services, including Instagram and WhatsApp, are experiencing a service outage. User reports on social media show a broad pattern of unavailability.
This is by no means the first time that a broad disruption has diminished all of these services simultaneously, with a striking halt occurring just less than a month ago. While the issue was resolved quickly enough, a new issue today is causing headaches for users.
Today’s disruptions may not be global, as we have seen widespread reports of varying levels of availability for these services, but given the large number of complaints, it appears that the problems are much more than just isolated cases.
Service recovery
Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram all seem to be restoring normal access to their services. If you’ve still having trouble, give it a few minutes and see if you can come in again.
