It looks like Meta acknowledged a problem on their status page [0] [0] https://metastatus.com/whatsapp-business-api at "5:32 PM GMT+2"

Facebook login is also not working but status page is not updated. https://metastatus.com/facebook-login Platform Status : No known issues Mar 5 2024 4:38 PM GMT+1 The service is up and running with no known issues.

They can't log in to update the status page about facebook login because they use facebook login for auth on the status page!

Joking aside, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case, because during their last major outage (something related to DNS iirc) they were having issues pushing fixes because they couldn't login because their DNS was down.

EDIT: seems like the status page was recently updated.

And rather than an indication that it is not working, I was just told to login again; since the attempts were unsuccessful, I was led to reset my password. Now I have no clue if the password has been reset properly or an old one is used, or login with google is used, or if I will continue to be logged out after they fix stuff. If your service is down, please say "my service is down".

Yeah, same thing happened to me so will likely need to reset my password again once Facebook is up again.

For me it happened when my long-dormant messenger lighted up (for a perfectly valid reason, no surprise there) and made me go through those unbundling options presumably mandated by EU. Certainly a coincidence, but it does irrationally strengthen that satisfying feeling I get whenever I see the ad giant stumble.

Logging everyone out across all platforms and telling them to just try logging back in sounds like an excellent way to DDOS yourself.

This should be a fun postmortem.

Does FB still have that corporate chat/slack competitor offering? Personally I’m glad for the FB “forced” break, but may not be great for those users..

Being logged out of every app is so insane. No automatic recovery from that. Big fuckup.

I guess there are alot of unsuspecting victims being logged in as dorment users and tracked.

A lot of people would probably also don't bother log back in, if there will be a password prompt?
