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)

Even the status page is down

Seriously, they host the status page on their own infrastructure? That's ... not smart.

Anyone else get a login request email from Instagram before it went down?

I got one, immediately logged in separately and changed my password, logged back in, then shortly after everything went down...

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

whatsapp.com as in the web-based client, which is down.
