Live status check

Is Facebook down right now?

We check facebook.com from one measurement point when you open this page. This shows what we saw, not a worldwide verdict.

A fresh check of facebook.com runs in your browser. If no result appears, run the check on the start page.

About Facebook problems

Facebook problems can be limited to sign-in, the news feed, Messenger or uploads, while facebook.com itself still loads. Content blockers and privacy extensions can break parts of Facebook pages or embedded Facebook content on other sites. We have not verified an official Facebook status page, so try a private window and another network before assuming an outage.

How this check works

  • One measurement location (single-self-hosted-probe), not a worldwide test.
  • We read only the response headers of the HTTPS homepage; page content and features are not tested.
  • We follow at most 5 HTTPS redirects and check every new address again.
  • The whole check stops after 10 seconds.
  • Results are reused for 60 seconds; this page refreshes its saved check at most every 10 minutes.

Typical Facebook problems

An editorial list of typical problems, not based on live user reports.

  • Sign-in keeps looping If the Facebook login page keeps returning, clear cookies for facebook.com only and check that your device date and time are correct. Guide: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
  • Feed or page does not load When Facebook times out on one network but loads on mobile data, a filter on that network is a likely cause rather than a Facebook-wide problem. Guide: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT
  • Parts blocked by an extension Privacy and ad blocking extensions can stop Facebook posts, comments or embedded Facebook widgets from loading, so test in a private window without extensions. Guide: ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT
  • Something went wrong page A Facebook error page that appears for every action can come from Facebook's servers, and reloading after a short wait is the right first step. Guide: 500 Internal Server Error
  • Messenger messages not sending If Messenger messages stay unsent, check your connection and whether the Messenger app or browser tab needs an update or reload.

General fixes: Social media

  1. Update the app Old app versions can stop loading feeds after the service changes. Install pending updates from your app store first.
  2. Compare the app and the website Open the service in a browser and in the app. If only one fails, the problem is in that app or browser, not in your account.
  3. Wait out action limits If likes, follows or posts are blocked for a while, stop and wait. Repeating the action can keep the limit in place longer.
  4. Check for network filters School, work and public networks may block social media. Test on mobile data to see whether the network is the cause.
