With stuff like this, it's really impossible to predict how long the downtime will last without the company offering some information on exactly what is going on. As you might expect, users have flocked to Twitter to complain about the downtime, with WhatsApp already trending high on the news lists and the other apps and services not far behind. This particular outage appears to be a bit different, as all of the services have remained down for close to a half-hour at the time of this writing and none of the sites or apps are showing signs that they are trying to come back online.

Even the Facebook Business status page is down, which suggests that whatever has taken the social giant down, the situation may actually be pretty serious.

The apps for these services are also not responding, leaving users high and dry with nowhere to get updates on the status of the Facebook network.

The same is true of WhatsApp, which fails to load online. At present, Facebook, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger are not responding, leading to IP address errors on the web and elsewhere.
