SAN FRANCISCO - Facebook and its apps Instagram and Whatsapp appeared to be experiencing issues on Monday morning that resulted in connection trouble and the inability to load newsfeeds for many users, according to the company.
The website DownDetector, which shares user-reported issues on websites and other platforms, showed thousands of complaints regarding the Facebook-owned apps around 11:45 a.m. ET. The largest issue appeared to be centered on Facebook itself with more than 86,000 people reporting problems with the website and the server connection.
Instagram had also received more than 67,000 reports of issues, as well as other Facebook-owned apps like WhatsApp and Facebook messenger.
On Twitter, Facebook Policy Communications Director Andy Stone confirmed the company's products were experiencing issues.
"We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience," Stone wrote.
Many Instagram users, about 44%, reported issues with the app, according to the site. Most Facebook users — 80% — reported trouble with the website, according to DownDetector.
Excellent news!

Of course this has nothing to do with the 60 Minutes expose from last night. Pure coincidence.
This is likely a global DNS issue. There are outages reported across a large number of platforms right now.
Now that I didn’t see but you make a good point and it would not surprise me.
Ha!!!
That’s exactly what I do!! And, it allows me to keep in touch with people my parents were/are friends with in our hometown.
I just ran across this site for the first time so I am not sure how accurate it is:

Very interesting.
My cell phone service is working.
Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus are down. Here’s what we know
Of course FB is collaborating with the CIA, and probably the FBI too. It’s the reason they were never regulated and won’t be in a “serious” way.
Their website is down, but you can still get in on your phone using the Facebook app, apparently. Too bad that’s still working :(
And don't forget, Facebook popularized "Throwback Thursday" where users were asked to post an old photo of themselves. This was a clever tool to fine-tune their facial recognition programs.
Probably just the DC Swamp / Alphabet Soup Institutions reminding Social media who’s in charge and to stay the Socialist’s / Marxist course.... or else. Not that they need much persuasion.
