Facebook is down, along with Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, and Oculus VR – all down for a couple of hours now!
It’s DNS!
A peek at Down Detector (or your Twitter feed) reveals the problems are widespread. While it’s unclear exactly why the platforms are unreachable for so many people, their DNS records show that, like last week’s Slack outage, the problem is apparently DNS (it’s always DNS). Cloudflare senior vice president Dane Knecht notes that Facebook’s border gateway protocol routes — BGP helps networks pick the best path to deliver internet traffic — have been “withdrawn from the internet.”
Instagram.com is flashing a 5xx Server Error message, while the Facebook site merely tells us that something went wrong. The problem also appears to be affecting its virtual reality arm, Oculus. Users can load games they already have installed and the browser works, but social features or installing new games does not. The outage is thorough enough that it’s affecting Workplace from Facebook customers and, according to Jane Manchun Wong, Facebook’s internal sites.
There’s no word yet from Facebook about what may be causing the problem or when those sites, including Messenger and WhatsApp, will be operational again, but we will update this article with more information when it’s available.
There are also lots and lots of funny memes on the official Twitter post from Facebook regarding this issue, you can check it below!

🤔 ABOUT CODEREVOLUTION TV 😃
Hello, I’m Szabi, a 32 years old guy living with my wife and our beautiful 4 year old daughter Maya. I started my journey in WordPress plugin development back in 2017, when I quit my programmer job and became a full time stay at home WordPress plugin developer, entrepreneur, blogger and also daddy. Since then, I implemented over 100 WordPress plugins, earning my full time income from them.
I started this YouTube channel to share tutorials for my plugins with people who are using them, however, since then, the channel has evolved into a daily VLOG, besides of tutorials for my plugins, I am sharing here also my insights about how to be a successful entrepreneur in our current times.
I really enjoy finding problems and solving them using creative and easy to use solutions to make life easier, this will reflect also in this YouTube channel!
On this YouTube channel, I publish new videos regularly (each time I have to tell you about something new)! If you don’t want to miss my videos, subscribe and hit the bell notification also!
