Massive Facebook outage

Seems like something going very wrong with UK Facebook x

Been thrown off both FB and Messenger and Twitter suggests Instagram down too.

Just a heads up as I know most people here don't apparently use it but if you do for business etc it might be worth checking.

@IncompleteSenten I bloody knew this would happen when my brother put her on FB.

If she's not breaking the internet she's messing with FB.

Now she's gonna call me a million times rather than message. It's me that needs the baileys

Did she bugger up my Disney login last week as well then. 🤔

Finally back in with a lot of notifications about log in. Now to approve them all

mostlydrinkstea · 05/03/2024 17:03

Mine is asking for my credit card number or my ID. Don't honk so...

mostlydrinkstea · 05/03/2024 17:03

Don't think so....

Paperdolly · 05/03/2024 17:03

First when I realised I couldn’t get on I thought, great!!! freedom!!! I spent far too much time on there.

look at me now on Mumsnet 🙄

gerteddy · 05/03/2024 17:04

I thought I'd been hacked or something, wldnt let me reset password kept getting errors. Turned my phone on and off several times then gave up 😆

For everyone worried about being hacked in these circumstances. If you google is it down right now and put in the name of the website that you are having trouble with you will see if there have been other reports of people having problems. Saves worrying or going round in circles if you know its affecting lots of others.

Hah, I did that and bloody Google was down for a bit so I couldn't find out that way either! Found out on twitter in the end

themonkeysnuts · 05/03/2024 17:08

i thought it was just me as well

Elderflower14 · 05/03/2024 17:11

Still not in.

themonkeysnuts · 05/03/2024 17:14

i can on my phone but not on desktop computer - ive tried to change me password too many times😣

Elderflower14 · 05/03/2024 17:14

It's now saying the code they have sent me doesn't match...

socialdilemmawhattodo · 05/03/2024 17:15

Thank you for posting I have been so worried. I use Facebook a lot.

WibblyWobblyWeeble · 05/03/2024 17:17

I can't get in either, not even with changing password.

CwmYoy · 05/03/2024 17:29

I'm back in now. :)

Elderflower14 · 05/03/2024 17:29

Now in!!!

Est1990 · 05/03/2024 17:51

I'm thinking if this could be the 'excuse' for me to just stop using it. I won't log in and see how long i can last.

Do this!!

I de-registered two years ago. Bliss!

Pron · 05/03/2024 18:10

I ditched FB years ago. I use Instagram for work stuff, but that's it. MUCH better Grin

peppermintcrisp · 05/03/2024 18:16

Yahoo was out for a day or so last week.

JudgeJ · 05/03/2024 18:17

Been thrown off both FB and Messenger and Twitter suggests Instagram down too.

All I can hear in my head is 'And I think to myself, what a wonderful world!'.

Sadly, I assume they're back!

SirQuintusAurelius · 05/03/2024 18:30

@MeMyCatsAndMyBooks

Do we really need multiple threads about Facebook? Third one I've seen in ten minutes on here!

It'll come back online, why does everyone panic? Do you not have anything better to do?

@Whylurkwhenicanjoinin has it about right when she says:

Whylurkwhenicanjoinin · Today 15:58

I personally have nothing better to do.

Literally EVERYONE on MN has something better to do but if they are anything like me, that's exactly why they are here - because they don't want to do it - so the best thing (which is better!) is to piss about on MN. Ergo - as @Whylurkwhenicanjoinin says, nothing better to do - this is the best thing vs the thing we should all be doing that is more productive but less proscratination fun! MN should be renamed Procrastination Net.

BuntyWindermear · 05/03/2024 18:34

Back on messenger but Facebook still not working!!

Rhino94 · 05/03/2024 18:56

I have tried to change my password 20 times and still tells me code error, everywhere says it’s fine now though?!
