Outages Reported With Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp & Messenger

Facebook is not having a good week. Users are reporting on social media this morning (Thursday 10th December 2020) that Facebook services including Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Facebook itself are all currently suffering outages.

​These reports come on the heels of the news yesterday that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in the United States has launched an Antitrust lawsuit against Facebook.

The majority of issues appear to be occurring in European countries, but users have been reporting issues in other countries also, including Trinidad and Tobago, France, Philippines and Australia. Facebook Messenger in particular is suffering delays in sending and receiving messages as well as formatting issues. In-line replies also appear to be broken in Messenger. Others are unable to post or access their news feeds, direct messages, and stories across the Facebook-owned apps.

Facebook hasn't yet responded to the reports of widespread connection issues.
