The cause of the outage remains unknown at this time. Facebook has not yet released an official statement addressing the issue.

  1. My mother panicked to me saying that her account was hacked, but no, Facebook is back at it again! 🤣

  2. I Hope they could fix it as soon as possible. We really need those apps. (Facebook, messenger & Instagram)

  3. Honestly who gives a crap, go spend more time with your kids or eat your lunch without posting it first, lol..

  4. The link to share to Facebook doesn’t appear to be working 😛

    Nobody has lost any accounts or account information. This is a global outage (cause currently unknown) that is preventing access to the platforms Facebook, Instagram and FB Messenger.

    All accounts and information should be intact and accessible once FB corrects the issue, however long that might take,

  5. Glad we have random message boards to go to and talk about the outage. lmao 🤣 will we survive?! 🤪
