Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp go down during major outage

If you, like many others, have been refreshing your Instagram over and over again for the past hour, stop. No, your internet connection is fine. Instead, the fault lies with the platform itself.

Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp-the three main apps owned by Mark Zuckerberg led Facebook, suffered massive global outage around 9PM IST, where users around the world complained about all of these services not working properly.

The company has acknowledged the issue, and said on Twitter:

We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

— Facebook (@Facebook) October 4, 2021

Downdetector notes widespread outages including Twitter, Google, and Jio. However, Facebook owned apps are the worst hit, and among all the other platforms, seem to be malfunctioning the most.

The cause of the outage has not been made public yet, but we will have more information soon.
