Facebook reports rolling in
Facebook quickly shot to more than 17,000 reports, which is a massive number for an outage just getting underway.
I actually stumbled on the outage myself because I was attempted to look for something on Facebook Marketplace and it wouldn’t load. This prompted to check Downdetector to see if it was a widespread issue. As it turns out, it’s very widespread.
Instagram, too
It’s not just Facebook that’s having problems. Instagram currently has around 6,400 Downdetector reports, which is no small number. If you’re experiencing issues with either platform, just know that you’re not alone.
Meta’s official status page still shows everything having “No known issues.” Of course, this doesn’t match up with what we’re seeing from Downdetector, where thousands of users are experiencing problems.
It could be that because it’s Sunday night, the folks at Meta are scrambling to find out what’s happening and get to work on the problem. Or it could just be quick blip that goes away quickly, We shall see!
A sharp decline
While Meta services are still dominating the top of Downdetector, they’re all heavily angled down, which tells me that this was just a small blip.
