Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger are all down, globally - again

Written by Petteri Pyyny @ 14 Apr 2019 8:59 User comments (4)

All major Facebook-owned properties, including WhatsApp, Facebook itself, Instagram and Messenger are down all over the world.

The problem seems to be worst in Asia, but reports also from South American countries and Europe are pouring to Twitter about the issue.

Uptime detection site, DownDetector shows that the problems started sometime around 11am UTC today and are currently ongoing.

For some users, at least in Europe, the services however seem to be working just fine. But some are experiencing problems when sending out WhatsApp messages or posting to Facebook.

It seems that #Facebook , #Instagram and #WhatsApp are broken. Welcome to my generation kids, where social media wasn't a thing. #FacebookDown #instagramdown #WhatsAppIsDown

I should hope so, it is the only way that i can contact some people.

I have another complaint that you have ignored for some weeks, it involves the timeline page, where Friends Posts are collected and lodged to save going through the whole of the Facebook to find Posts. I have not been able to Correct it myself, and i have sent numerous messages to your staff for assistance without response. The area Involved is on the Time Line Page, is a Block of 9 Shown Friends , about halfway down the Left Hand Margin, and is Named Friends, although as the photo icons change as Posts change, it is not normally the Same Photo Icons, this is more than an annoyance, it is a loss of communications, as sometimes there may be as many as Ten Posts in a day that i am missing.

Bozobub, i can only apologise as my original message to After Dawn, was that My afterdawn Newsletters are being Directly to my Desk top, and not to my Inbox of my email address, I have requested that some body assist me at both Afterdawn, and facebook, and this is the first response that i have received from Afterdawn, as stated i am a newbie at trying for assistance,but my only Thoughts on this matter is that since i am using Google Chrome as a Browser, that this is why the afterdawn news letters are being delivered to my desktop, Maybe somebody here can assist me with this one

	Review: Roborock Saros Z70 - robot vacuum with an arm In out in-depth review of Roborock Saros Z70 we put the robot vacuum through a 3 month test period, where we observed its work in normal home. The sci-fi -like arm of Z70 was a little bit disappointing, due its limited functionality.
	Roborock Saros 10 review - Great, but not perfect We tested Roborock Saros 10 robot vacuum for more than two months in order to see whether it is really worth its hefty price tag. The mopping, self-emptying Saros 10 was mostly great, even perfect. But its object avoidance was bit disappointing. 1 user comment
	Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra review - obstacle avoidance doesn't work as it should, otherwise almost perfect robot vacuum We put the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra through a very, very long review process. The $1800 mopping robot vacuum is almost perfect, but its obstacle avoidance was surprisingly bad, considering the price - and compared to its competitors.
