It had been a while since we had to complain about a fall of this type but the truce came to an end... Facebook e Instagram, together with the WhatsApp messaging application, are right now fallen and completely out of coverage. This is how numerous users have started to report it for a few minutes, complaining that at the moment there is no way to enter any of these services. What's going on?
All offline facebook group
If you have gone to enter Facebook and you have not been able to; you wanted to upload a photo to Instagram and it is not possible; Or you were going to tell your cousin something on WhatsApp and the app “does not connect you”, you are not alone. It turns out that the three platforms are currently down, not allowing anyone access.
You just have to take a look at the web Downdetector to verify that the three solutions are currently completely inoperative. In the case of Instagram, people are reporting failures when connecting in 52% of cases while 47% seem to have problems with the renewal of the feed (to upload new photos or update the Stories). In the case of Facebook, Most of the problems are concentrated when it comes to directly accessing the website of Zuckerberg's social network (represented by 88%) and only 11% show difficulties in entering with their data. As to Whatsapp, It seems that it does not directly connect to the servers, all its users being isolated right now.
It turns out that both Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are part of the same company, Facebook, so this seems to be a big server down at the central level. Facebook's problem reporting website does not work either, so we cannot confirm more information for you at the moment. At the time of writing these lines, none of the three services have used another communication channel (such as their official Twitter account) to report what is happening.
If we consult the general map of incidents, it seems that the vast majority are concentrated in Spain, being by far the country most affected at the moment by this unexpected drop in services. Below these lines you can see how the situation is for Instagram in Spanish territory.
What to do with Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp down?
Few alternatives are left to us at this time with such a triad out of coverage. Instagram and Facebook are the social networks par excellence at the moment, and with both down, we only have the TikTok platform as entertainment at the moment or, failing that, Twitter, which is still a good network for conversation. In the case of WhatsApp, it is easier to find a substitute for it, for example with Telegram, although we confirm that in any of the cases, the three solutions will not take much longer to be operational again.
Do not worry, we will keep you informed with the changes that occur in this regard as soon as we have news.
