You’re scrolling on Insta and suddenly you get a pop-up notification that your internet is down. You try to refresh and it fails. You switch from wifi to data and it still doesn’t work. It’s not just you, buddy!

Facebook and Instagram are down worldwide

We’re aware people are having trouble accessing our services. We are working on this now.

A break from social media? Yep!

Seems like Instagram and Facebook decided to take a spontaneous vacation together! Maybe they’re off to explore the wilds of the internet, leaving us all stranded in the land of real-life interactions. #facebookdwon
