And we're back 💙 So sorry for those who were unable to access Facebook earlier today.
Facebook outages and problems
In the past 24 hours, 769 user reports came in for Facebook. Counting only the 15-minute windows with a spike big enough to count as an outage, that comes to 100.00% uptime for the day.
The busiest 15-minute window had 21 reports, about 4 hours ago. That stays below our outage threshold, so it doesn't count as downtime.

How to fix Facebook not working
Facebook is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach facebook.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Test Facebook on mobile data
Turn off Wi-Fi and open the app again. If it loads on mobile data but not on Wi-Fi, restart the router; on iPhone, you can also open Settings > Wi-Fi, tap the info button next to the network, then Forget This Network.
Force stop Facebook and reopen it
Force stop the app from Android settings: Settings > Apps > See all apps > Facebook > Force stop. On iPhone, double-click the Home button or swipe up from the bottom and pause, then swipe the app card up before you tap the icon again. Reopen the app.
Update the Facebook app
Open the App Store and install any pending update from your profile icon. On Google Play, tap your profile icon and go to Manage apps & device > Updates available. Restart the app after it updates.
Clear Facebook app data or use a browser
On Android, open Settings > Apps > See all apps > Facebook > Storage & cache > Clear cache. If that fails, Clear storage signs you out and resets the app. On iPhone, delete the app and install it again from the App Store, or open the service in Safari or Chrome to see if the problem follows your account or stays on the device.
Common Facebook error messages
What each message means and what to try. The wording can differ a little between app versions.
-
This content isn't available right now
- Means
- The post, photo or video you opened was deleted, or the person who shared it changed who can see it.
- Fix
- Open the profile or page and look for the post there, because a reshare may still be up. If a friend sent you the link, ask them to check their audience setting or send the file another way.
While Facebook is down: what to use instead
- Website in a browser If the app crashes on launch or sits on a blank feed after an update, logging in through Chrome or Safari often still works, because the fault can be in the app on your phone and not on the servers.
- Messenger app When the feed won't load but you mostly need your chats, the separate Messenger app sometimes keeps sending and receiving messages, so try opening it on its own.
- SMS or a phone call For anything urgent, a plain text or call reaches people without going through Meta's servers.
- Meta Status page It shows whether Meta has confirmed a problem on its side.
Fix Facebook on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone
Facebook on Windows
- Fix
- Clear your browser cache and cookies, or try accessing Facebook in Incognito mode. Conflicting browser extensions can also prevent Facebook from loading.
- Check
- Try opening Facebook in a different web browser to see if the issue is browser-specific. You can also run a network diagnostic test to check your connection to the site.
ping facebook.comTest whether Facebook's servers replynslookup facebook.comCheck that Facebook's DNS resolvestracert facebook.comTrace where the connection dropsipconfig /flushdnsClear the DNS cache, then reloadFacebook on Mac
- Fix
- Force reload the Facebook page or clear your browser's history and website data. Try disabling Safari extensions or content blockers that might interfere with Facebook.
- Check
- Check if you can access Facebook using a different browser or device on the same network. You can also use Network Utility to see if the Facebook servers are reachable.
ping -c 4 facebook.comTest whether Facebook's servers replynslookup facebook.comCheck that Facebook's DNS resolvestraceroute facebook.comTrace where the connection dropssudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponderFlush the macOS DNS cache, then reloadFacebook on Android
- Fix
- Go to your device settings to force stop the Facebook app and clear its cache. You can also check the Google Play Store for any pending Facebook updates.
- Check
- Attempt to load Facebook using a mobile web browser to verify if the issue is specific to the Android app. Check if other internet-dependent apps are working normally.
Facebook on iPhone and iPad
- Fix
- Force close the Facebook app and relaunch it, or check the App Store for any available updates. Reinstalling the Facebook app can also resolve loading issues.
- Check
- Open Safari and try to load the Facebook website to see if the service outage is limited to the app. Check your iOS Settings to ensure mobile data is enabled for Facebook.
Problems at the same time as Facebook
Since 5 October, all 3 of Facebook's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Facebook goes down
Facebook is a social network for posts, photos, videos, and messages. An outage blocks your News Feed, chats, group posts, and login, and families and businesses rely on it for messages and updates.
During an outage, the News Feed often refuses to refresh and shows old posts, while Messenger messages sit on sending and comments or reactions do not go through. Login can loop you back to the sign-in screen, and photo or video uploads stall before they finish. Problems usually start with loading and refreshing, then hit messaging and uploads; they can be regional or limited to one app while the desktop site still works. You might get a blank screen or a generic error even when your connection is fine.

How we track Facebook
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Facebook, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Facebook, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Facebook's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
