This includes Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Facebook Messenger.

The outage is affecting every Facebook-owned platform, according to data on Downdetector and Twitter.

Users are being greeted with error messages such as: “Sorry, something went wrong,” “5xx Server Error,” and more. We’re seeing error messages on all three services across iOS applications as well as on the web. It’s not just you: Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are all currently down for users around the world. In the latest update, Facebook CTO Mike Schroepfer says that Facebook is “experiencing networking issues and teams are working as fast as possible to debug and restore.” There is, however, no timeline on when to expect the services to come back online. Update 4:30 p.m ET: Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and WhatsApp have now been down for five hours.

Your mileage may vary for now, but the services are in the process of coming back to life. ET: Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger are slowly but surely coming back up after more than 6 hours of being down.
