Our only hope of human interaction now left is Snapchat and iMessage. What’s done is done we just hope everything is restored soon. Facebook’s own tracking detector was down as well around noon ET. Down Detector is a crowdsourced website that helps track down online outages. The platforms owned by Facebook started having an issue around 11:40 a.m. As in Facebook itself, Instagram, and WhatsApp. It wasn’t until a while when I found out it was a widespread social media outage but only the social media platforms that belong to Facebook. I switched my 4g on after restarting my wifi router to see if it was an issue with my wifi, but no, it wasn’t because every other site was working perfectly well. Because we have all established the same morning routine. I am sure that happened to everyone as well.

My sleep sprinted out of my body as fast as Usain Bolt, and I panicked and sat up straight in my bed.

I reached for my phone to check my Facebook, Instagram, and Facebook, but alas, something was very wrong. FB alone is in control over its DNS records.When we wake in the morning, the first thing we do is pick up our phones and check our social media accounts. It could well have been the result of an internal, system wide change or update that went awry. “The DNS records that tell systems how to find or got withdrawn this morning from the global routing tables,” Krebs tweeted. How did all these networks get affected at the same time? Computer security writer Brian Krebs tweeted a possible answer for some of the problems: Facebook and Instagram were apparently removed from the DNS (Domain Name System) servers that basically make up the white pages of the internet. Former Facebook product manager Frances Haugen saidin an exclusive CBS’ “60 Minutes” interview Sunday that a 2018 change to the content flow in Facebook’s news feedcontributed to more divisiveness and ill will in a network ostensibly created to bring people closer together.įacebook’s stock was down nearly 6% on Monday.
