Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp Outage

I wonder if the T-Mobile spike [0] is actually T-Mobile depending on Meta for something relatively minor (say, a widget on their website), or if it's users not knowing the difference between their carrier and an app when the app doesn't load.

In past experience it's usually the latter.

Whatsapp wasn't working for me for approx. 8 minutes. It's working now

checked meta status page and there seems to be a problem with their "ads transparency" services at the same time frame where the outage happened https://metastatus.com/ads-transparency

edit: they've updated the status page and apparently many services are experiencing outages
