Oh no, it seems like Facebook is currently experiencing some technical issues. Many users are reporting that they are unable to access the popular social media network. This appears to be a widespread problem as people from different parts of the world are turning to X, formerly known as Twitter, to find out more information.
The trouble started around noon and within just a few minutes, there were already over 2,000 reports on Down Detector. And to make matters worse, less than an hour later, that number had doubled to almost 5,000. It seems like most of the complaints in the UK are coming from big cities like London, Manchester, and Liverpool. Interestingly, the problem seems to be affecting the website more than the app, as 90% of the complaints are referencing the site.
According to a heatmap, it appears that the problem is hitting various parts of the world at the same time. Users in the US, Australia, India, and Thailand are all reporting issues with Facebook. One user even took to X to ask if anyone else was having trouble logging into Facebook, especially in Australia. The hashtag #FacebookDown is also trending as people try to make sense of what's happening.
So far, neither Facebook nor its parent company Meta have released an official statement regarding the outage. It's worth noting that the company hasn't posted anything on its Facebook X account since October of last year. This isn't the first time Facebook has experienced a major outage. In October 2021, the platform, along with its sister apps Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp, went down for a whopping seven hours and 11 minutes.
The Agency has reached out to Facebook for a comment on the current situation, but we're still waiting to hear back. As this is a developing story, we'll be sure to update you with any new information as it becomes available. Stay tuned for more updates on this breaking news story.
