After recording a huge spike in Messenger down reports, Down Detector has now seen a big drop off in the. Currently, users across the world in the U.S., Europe, and Asia are reporting. Again, the best fix for these issues is to have patience and wait for them to be resolved. UPDATE: It looks like the issues affecting Facebook Messenger users today was short lived. Following Facebooks massive outage last month, the companys messaging service is now down for many users globally. The Facebook service status page doesn’t actually indicate that anything is wrong, and Facebook hasn’t released a statement about today’s outages, so there’s currently no way to know the cause.įacebook is usually very quick to get its services back online when an outage occurs, so users shouldn’t have to wait too long for regular functionality to be restored.

The outage may be due to internal updates being performed. The Facebook Messenger servers going down may have something to do with the change to its privacy policies. For those who have had privacy concerns, now might be a great time to switch to a messaging app with a better reputation like Signal. If is down for you too, the server might be overloaded or unreachable because of network problems, outages or a website maintenance is in progress.

Unfortunately, there’s not much users can do about a Facebook Messenger outage except wait or use an alternative app. There have been reports that other Facebook-owned services like Instagram and WhatsApp have been down sporadically throughout the day as well.
