Which sites are down?įacebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and TikTok are the four most popular sites reported to have been having issues on Monday afternoon.Īccording to Downdetector, the number of reports relating to WhatsApp shot up to 75,600 just before 5pm.
While the cause of the outage is yet to be confirmed, San Francisco-based Cisco company ThousandEyes said it is because of what is known as a Domain Name Server (DNS) failure. While Instagram and WhatsApp users can access their apps but cannot see their latest sent or received messages.ĭesperate social media users have taken to Twitter to vent their frustration at being cut off from their social world for so long. The outage means Facebook users have been getting an error page when accessing the social media giant, which boasts two billion users, from their browser. TikTok has also been experiencing issues, although the number of reports relating to the one billion-strong platform is meagre compared to those lodged for the other three. Facebook, which owns Instagram and WhatsApp, has apologised for the disruption, but little has been said about what has caused the global outage.
