Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp Were All Down In One Of Social Media's Worst Online Outage Ever

Just before 8 PM Indian Standard Time on July 3rd, something unprecedented started to happen online.

People started to realize that Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp were acting weird, with conversations and images not loading properly.

Nothing was wrong with their internet connection, as the major online social services were experiencing a rare simultaneous outage.

At first, people noticed that images in their Facebook feed or in their WhatsApp conversations, and also across Instagram and Messenger, were just not loading.

We confirmed the global Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger outage on Down Detector immediately after noticing that there was something wrong.

Even now, close to six hours after the first signs of the internet outage on Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger was noticed, the social media services are still struggling to come back fully online.

It’s not just users who’ve noticed that something’s broken in Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger at the moment, the respective social apps know they’re malfunctioning globally right now.

The Verge quoted a Facebook official as saying that they are aware of the issues and are “working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible.” Whatever that means, right?

In fact, the fact isn’t lost on us when you see the affected online social media services are all Facebook products — the outage has affected Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger. Coincidence? Definitely not.

Obviously, with nothing else to do, hapless online users had to make their way to Twitter — which surprisingly was working better than the internet outage hit Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp services.

People obviously decided that it was the right time to make fun of people suffering from Facebook down, Instagram down, and WhatsApp down syndrome.

Oh well, we hope that the Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp internet outage will be over and done with very soon. That these social media services are up and running to their full potential again. And sanity is restored in people’s lives at the same time as well.
