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)

Do they share infrastructure?

There's a page saying something is wrong, which could just be a very efficient summary feature for the site, that is working as intended.

Also instagram, but not whatsapp

Whatsapp (the website) now, too. Whatsapp (the messenger) is still transmitting messages.
