Global bug: Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp are inaccessible to users around the world

It's total misunderstanding. We are facing a large-scale outage affecting most social networks owned by Facebook. All of the group's services are, as we say in the jargon, "down". The sites are no longer accessible. Facebook is affected, but it is not the only network to no longer work. The other social network of the group, Instagram does not work either. Instant messengers such as Messenger and WhatsApp are totally at a standstill. It doesn't matter if you're using a computer, tablet or smartphone, you won't be able to connect, update content, let alone send a message.

The group has suffered a breakdown since around 5:45 p.m. French time. This bug still makes the platform inaccessible this Monday, October 4 in the early evening. Error messages can be the following on Facebook: "This site cannot be reached", "The server IP address of the facebook.com server cannot be found". On Instagram, no photos appear and the alerts accompanying the bug are: "Unable to refresh the feed", "An error occurred try again". WhatSapp does not present any alert message. The application indicates that it is trying to establish a "connection". If for the time being the official reasons for this dazzling down have not been revealed, according to Numerama, the problem could come from the server named DNS (Domain Name System). It plays a key role since it makes it possible to link IP addresses to websites. While Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook, remains silent, Andy Stone, spokesperson for the group, communicated about the global outage shortly after 6:00 p.m. French time. To do so, he resigned himself to using Twitter, Facebook's direct competitor. “We are aware that some people have difficulty accessing our applications and products. We are working on a return to normal as soon as possible and we apologize for this inconvenience. This message was duplicated and posted on the official Facebook Twitter account. On the blue bird platform, tweets relating to this planetary bug fuse. The misfortune of some is the happiness of others. Twitter, a bit ironic, is having fun with the situation. The platform takes advantage of the influx of users who fall back on its interface to send a "Hello to literally everyone". A tweet that this evening already harvests more than a million likes.

This is not the first time a global bug has occurred. We can still publish our articles via our website, but please note that you will not be able to access the Version Femina Facebook page. Hoping that this general failure is restored and restored as soon as possible. In the meantime, you can still read our articles on our website.
