Major Facebook outage knocks down Facebook, Messenger and Instagram

newsJun 12, 202618236

On June 12, 2026 Facebook, Messenger and Instagram suffered a major outage that caused their APIs to return 500 server errors worldwide, Podium recorded. The outage prevented users from loading feeds or sending messages across those core apps. Developers and services attempting API calls encountered consistent 500 responses, disrupting integrations tied to Facebook's endpoints. The interruption underscores how a single platform's infrastructure failure can quickly disrupt communications and businesses that rely on its services.

With the Facebook outage, many are free of AI slop contaminated algorithmic feeds for the first time in *years*. Raise a glass to freedom! Facebook's DNS was blown away! And...FACEBOOKISDOWN! is good for 15% off sitewide, on orders of $10 or more through Sunday! SHARE THIS MESSAGE!

There's a global outage across Meta properties, that means Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and Whatsapp. I can contact most of my friends because we all decided to switch to Signal years ago. Have you switched? signal.org

The #facebook outage should give everyone pause about #AI. A company owned by one of the wealthiest men in the world can’t keep it up, so to speak. 🍆 (Sorry kids, it’s Friday!)

My first thought about the Facebook outage was that they finally decided to delete my account for no apparent reason.

just saw on the local news that there was a shooting in Midland, Texas, & the police department usually gives out info on Facebook but because of the Facebook outage they're telling people to go to X... there really is such an issue with officials relying on these platforms

Judging by all the languages posting about it, Facebook outage appears to be world-wide or at least spread to users around the world. #FacebookDown
