Northern Europe here. Has been down for over 20 minutes. Suddenly logged out of Messenger then FB - got "wrong password" error, had a quick panic, checked twitter, and calmed down.

I wonder if the T-Mobile spike [0] is actually T-Mobile depending on Meta for something relatively minor (say, a widget on their website), or if it's users not knowing the difference between their carrier and an app when the app doesn't load.

  In past experience it's usually the latter.

Whatsapp wasn't working for me for approx. 8 minutes. It's working now checked meta status page and there seems to be a problem with their "ads transparency" services at the same time frame where the outage happened https://metastatus.com/ads-transparency https://metastatus.com/ads-transparency edit: they've updated the status page and apparently many services are experiencing outages

  Strange that they don't seem to have any status page that's not only for "Meta business products" - some page with the status of FB, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram would be nice.

  How can you move away from WhatsApp? As a European that is. Everyone is on it.
