If you can't post a new status on Facebook, it's not you.
Facebook and Facebook-owned photo app Instagram are down for some users on Wednesday. The social networks have been having issues since around 9 a.m. PT, according to tracking site Down Detecter. Some users have posted on Twitter that they're seeing a message saying Facebook is "down for maintenance."
Other users trying to post status updates on Facebook, including CNET staff, got error messages saying "something went wrong."
Facebook confirmed the outages.
"We're aware that some people are currently having trouble accessing the Facebook family of apps," a Facebook spokesperson said in an email. "We're working to resolve the issue as soon as possible."
Facebook hasn't revealed what caused the outage, but said in a tweet on Wednesday that it wasn't because of a cyber attack known as a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.
This isn't Facebook's first outage. In November the social network went down in a mishap caused by a test the company was running. That outage lasted about 40 minutes. That same month, Facebook and Instagram were down for hours because of a "server configuration." The outage was also affecting Facebook's ad products.

Would somehow please me if FB was hacked and destroyed.
I am also hoping that FB was hacked and destroyed!
Too bad Zuckerberg still has his $billion$!
No, I think everyone has just blocked you.
I thought I was being punished for my right wing views.
It’s a shame that such a clever communications tool is being ruined by a political tyrant. There have been several other sites created to offer an alternative to FB, but all fall short of the usability and functionality provided by the platform Zukerberg stole.
Not logged in.
Shhh, don't let the secret out. It's supposed to be a surprise....
“I thought I was being punished for my right wing views.”
Never fear! They’re getting to you. ;)
(Says She who has PROUDLY spent more than a few days in FB Jail through the years, LOL!)
Instagram still down.
I happened to me in the process of posting. When I posted, I got this message: “Sorry, your comment could not be added at this time. Please try again later.”
I logged out of Facebook and logged back in. Facebook wold not load up at all. It is DOWN!
So now, we have downed Boeing 737 Max 8s and Max 9s, downed Facebook, and my dog died. What’s a man going to do?
Good. Hope it stays down for good.
In related news, millions of women just discovered that they are driving cars in traffic!
I just tried and the site doesn’t come up. OH THE HUGE MANATEE!
I think more deplorables signed onto Facebook than Zukerturd knows what to do with, so he just put everyone on lockdown.
“Can’t update status? Facebook and Instagram are down”
PRAYERS that they are ‘Down For the Count’
"I deleted my FB account back in 1978."
IG still down
