Facebook, WhatsApp services appear to be down on Monday, throwing users into confusion.
The outage tracker Down Detector also noted widespread outages on Twitter, Google, and Jio; but while Twitter and others came on later, other sites like Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger were unavailable.
It’s unclear what is causing these issues, but it appears to be a global outage, as reports on Down Detector’s US website are similar.
Judging by the reports on the site, the issue seems to have started around 16.37 Nigerian time and WhatsApp is still unavailable as at the time of file this report at about 17.52.
There were also over 18,000 reports about an outage of WhatsApp.
In recent times, there have been multiple outages like this due to CDN issues, with Akamai and Fastly being the two most recent incidents; most recently in July an outage took out a host of services, ranging from Zomato, to Disney+ Hotstar, PSN, Steam, Paytm and more.
