It's not just you.
Users began reporting issues with Facebook services Monday morning, according to Downdetector. In addition to the main Facebook platform, its other services — including Instagram and Whatsapp — are suffering outages, as well.
A security awareness advocate with KnowBe4, Erich Kron, estimates this could be impacting millions of people. “Essentially what happened here is, the internet’s GPS if you will, that tells things where to go to find the servers went away for Facebook. There’s a couple different places that comes into play. Essentially, now we just can’t find where they are on the internet and that’s what’s happened," Erich Kron explained.
It's not yet known when service will be restored.
Kron added, it's unusual to see an outage like this last as long as it has. “It’s very unusual this happens in organizations like this and that it stays down this long."
On Facebook, an error message said: "We're working on it and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can."
10 Tampa Bay reached out to Facebook to see what caused this outage. “Why it has gone down? We’re not really sure of yet," Kron added.
