From banks to games

Social media & messaging

59 services Social media & messaging status page

Messages get stuck on sending and feeds stop refreshing when WhatsApp or Instagram goes down. The other messengers and social networks below, Discord and Threema among them, tend to break in much the same way.

Streaming & entertainment

77 services Streaming & entertainment status page

If Netflix or YouTube is struggling, videos buffer endlessly or stop with an error code. Live TV on Zattoo can freeze mid-programme, and Spotify may cut out in the middle of a song.

Games & gaming networks

189 services Games & gaming networks status page

PlayStation Network and Steam are platforms that carry thousands of titles, while Fortnite and Minecraft appear as games in their own right. Problems on a platform can halt online play in many games at once, with failed sign-ins and matchmaking that never finds a match.

Banks & payments

186 services Banks & payments status page

Banks such as PostFinance and UBS are listed with payment apps like Twint and Revolut, the card networks and the larger crypto exchanges. Failed e-banking logins and card or mobile payments refused at the till are the usual signs of trouble.

Mobile & internet providers

224 services Mobile & internet providers status page

A phone with no service or a home router that has lost its connection can point to trouble at one of these providers. Swisscom and Sunrise are the biggest names, though the list also takes in smaller fibre firms such as Init7. Mobile outages can keep SMS login codes from arriving.

Email, files & productivity

160 services Email, files & productivity status page

Gmail and Proton Mail are here for email, together with cloud drives and the chat and meeting apps that offices depend on, Microsoft Teams included. A fault can leave mail sitting unsent in the outbox and shared files out of sync between devices.

AI assistants & tools

30 services AI assistants & tools status page

Chat assistants such as Google Gemini and ChatGPT, which is listed under OpenAI, are grouped with tools that make video or music, like Synthesia and Suno. Answers that stop halfway or never arrive show that something is wrong, and apps built on these models can break at the same moment.

Cloud, hosting & developer tools

81 services Cloud, hosting & developer tools status page

Much of the web runs on the platforms below, so one failure at Amazon Web Services or Cloudflare can knock many unrelated sites offline in one go. Login services like Sign in with Apple are included, and when one is down, signing in to apps that otherwise work can fail.

Shopping & delivery

92 services Shopping & delivery status page

Supermarkets and clothing chains are listed with marketplaces such as Ricardo and Vinted, while the App Store and Google Play are treated as shops. Problems at a shop usually show first at checkout, and an order's delivery status may stay frozen.

Travel & transport

40 services Travel & transport status page

Timetables can vanish from the SBB app and directions from Google Maps during an outage, and airline apps are no different. An Uber ride or a room on Booking.com may not get confirmed, sometimes after you have already paid.

Cars & EV charging

20 services Cars & EV charging status page

Nearly all of these are carmakers' own apps, for example Tesla and My BMW, the one exception being the Swisscharge network. If the maker's servers fail, the app can lose contact with the car, so locking or pre-heating it from your phone stops working. At a public charger, the app might not start a session.

VPN & security

30 services VPN & security status page

Consumer VPNs such as NordVPN and the Geneva-based Proton VPN outnumber the handful of security tools built for companies. Server problems at the provider mean the app will not connect or keeps dropping. With a kill switch on, this can look as if your whole internet connection has failed.

News & media

9 services News & media status page

The public broadcaster SRF is listed with Issuu, which publishers use to put magazines and catalogues online. An SRF outage can leave live streams and videos stuck on a black screen, while a fault at Issuu blanks out embedded magazines on publishers' own sites.

Search & web

12 services Search & web status page

Besides Google and Bing, the section covers Search.ch and reference sites such as Wikipedia. Searches may hang or end on an error page, and an overloaded Wikipedia shows its own notice in place of the article.

Smart home & devices

21 services Smart home & devices status page

Sonos speakers, Netatmo thermostats, Ring doorbells and Garmin watches sit in this section, as do automation services that link devices together. The devices themselves usually keep working through a cloud outage, yet the app may show them as offline and alerts or watch data can arrive late.

Education & learning

21 services Education & learning status page

Pupils use itslearning and Scratch, the block-based coding site for children, while Coursera and edX host online courses for older learners. Expect school logins to fail and homework to stall on upload when one of them breaks down.

Public services & utilities

40 services Public services & utilities status page

A problem with SwissID can lock you out of Die Schweizerische Post and other sites that use the same login. Trouble with eBill is different: new bills may not appear in your e-banking, or approving them may fail. Swissmint, the federal mint, is here as well.

Other services

13 services Other services status page

This last group holds services that fit nowhere else, such as AppValley and Tweakbox, third-party app stores used mainly on iPhones. A revoked signing certificate can stop apps installed through them from opening, and downloads may stall.

Method

How these statuses work

Every status here comes from problem reports sent in by users. They are counted in 15-minute windows across the last 24 hours, then compared with the level that is normal for each service. A sudden jump well above that level is shown as an outage, and a smaller rise as problems. The data refreshes about every five minutes. Open any service for its 24-hour chart of reports, recent incidents, fixes to try and official support links.

Questions

About this list

Why is a service missing from the list?

Only the 1,304 services shown here are covered, and there is no way to request new ones. If you cannot find one, try a shorter or different spelling in the filter first. For a service that is not listed, check the company's own status page or its support site instead.

What do the coloured labels and numbers like 12/h mean?

An amber Problems label means reports for that service are above their usual level, and a red Outage label means they have jumped well past it. Services without a label look normal. A figure such as 12/h is how many reports came in over the last hour.

How does a service get marked as having problems?

Each service is compared with its own usual level of reports rather than one fixed number, because a large messaging app and a small cantonal bank get very different counts on an ordinary day. A moderate rise above that level shows as problems, and a sudden jump well past it as an outage.

How often does the page update?

Roughly every five minutes. A problem that began only moments ago may not show yet, so if you are waiting for a change, reload the page after a few minutes.

Why can a service have reports but still look normal?

A few reports can arrive even while a service works for nearly everyone, for example from someone whose own connection or account is the problem. The status only changes when reports climb above what is usual for that service, so a small count with no label usually does not mean a wider fault.

How can I get an alert about a service?

If your browser supports notifications, press "Alert me" on the service's own page and allow them when asked. You will then get a notification when its status changes, as long as that page stays open, even in a background tab. Phones often pause background tabs, so alerts are most reliable on a computer. The site has no app or accounts and does not send email or SMS alerts.
