Love the status page right now. https://developers.facebook.com/status/dashboard/ PS. Instagram app/site, whatsapp.com, messenger.com, oculus.com also down, anything else? UPDATE: Everything back up! (Even the status page)

Anecdotally, whatsapp worked for me (message was sent and received successfully) though Facebook gave an error. I was already logged into both services.

Of course the first time in months I've used any of Facebook API services, and they go down mid-implementation.

Do they share infrastructure?

Yeah, that's what I was wondering. Strange that there is a SPOF for Facebook/Insta/Whatsapp.

I'm getting two different error pages with the same "Sorry, something went wrong. We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can" message.

The logo is not loading on either page.

Part of me wonders if they discovered a big/new hole that led to the data leak, although Instagram being down too suggests maybe there's something happening behind the load balancers?

Finally a status page that updates the moment an issue starts

How on earth does EVERYTHING go down like this? It just seems unfathomable to me. Where is the single point of failure?

In Denmark right now, everything down. Was on the phone with someone (in the US) through Messenger without issues. Hung up and tried to send them a message and nothing. Instagram non-functional as well.

Given the fact that it's also down, I'd say yes
