Facebook, Whatsapp and instagram not working. What’s the way out?
The social media world is going through a downtime at the moment
Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp are all collectively down.
Social microblogging apps, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook have all gone down in a major outage.
The three apps – which are all owned by Facebook, and run on shared infrastructure – all completely stopped working shortly before 5pm.
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 note that such outages are a “big deal”. Any problems can often lead people to start using competitors instead, 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 lot of people were initially scared that something was wrong with their mobile network or maybe their phones had gone bad.
Some even thought maybe the President had ordered that Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp should be shut down just like they did to Twitter
Just know that Mrbloaded is here for you no matter what happens to the internet.
Anyways,
How Did You React When You Noticed That You Can’t Access Facebook, Whatsapp?
