It's difficult if the person you want to reach is abroad or using WhatsApp groups

Netflix is fine. I'm watching it. My DD has resorted to iMessaging me like the olden days.

OMG the young people might have to actually speak to each other on the phone. shock

Nah, my teen informs me fb is for oldies. They'll all be on Snapchat /houseparty etc. They will find a way not to use the spoken word 😂

Groovee · 04/10/2021 19:02

I thought it was our WiFi. Pain in the arse as work have a WhatsApp group so we've had to move to emails instead.

mum2jakie · 04/10/2021 19:05

Amazon Prime working here. Facebook still not loading - won't be missed. Don't think WhatsApp is back up yet either

Interesting. Mine are 22 and 19 and declare Snapchat dead now, it's all about Whatsapp and Instagram. They've said for years that FB is prehistoric though.

I'll tell them all about Friends Reunited at some point. Grin

DH works for FB. The whole internal communication system went down just as America are starting work. He was thrown out of his meeting with the US.

HoneyDragon · 04/10/2021 19:08

My teens all use FaceTime and discord so are absolutely fine and dandy.

onelostsoulswimminginafishbowl · 04/10/2021 19:08

My home Internet is completely down and only my phone network appears to be working (but no fb, WhatsApp etc) I had set my alarm for 6am to have a chat with my mum (I'm in NZ) over messenger but I couldn't get anything connected. Then a small earthquake came and it really started to feel like the end of days 😂😂

CaptainChannel · 04/10/2021 19:09

I'm very glad I read this I've just been restarting my phone for the last 20 mins!

RunAndTellAllOfTheAngels · 04/10/2021 19:11

It's like Thursday night all over again 😱

MonsterChopz · 04/10/2021 19:12

Driving me mad, I sent a message on a group chat that sounded obnoxious when I read it back. Sent a message explaining what I actually meant and that's when the bloody thing went down. So now my dickish message is the last thing received by everyone Grin

HemanOrSheRa · 04/10/2021 19:12

Pfft. DS has his weekly session with his maths tutor now. I was hoping for a little social media browse for an hour. Booooo.

MorganKitten · 04/10/2021 19:14

It crashed around 5pm, as they are all owned by the same parent company everything is slow or not working, it’s not a huge issue.

Blankspace4 · 04/10/2021 19:15

Been down for a good while now hasn’t it!

End of days….

EmKayEm · 04/10/2021 19:16

I've just had to send a fax to the kettle to get it to boil...
