It's that time again. The Facebook group is suffering from a disruption. Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are down.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

OMG - the world is coming to an end, isn't it?! No, as long as Apfelpatient exists, everything is fine! Jokes aside. Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are affected by an outage and are unavailable to many users worldwide. For WhatsApp alone, almost 70,000 reports have already been documented on allest\u00f6rungen.de - and the number is rising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next to allest\u00f6rungen.de<\/a> will also be on downdetector.com<\/a> and reported on Twitter under the hashtag "#DeleteFacebook". The social media giant has not yet commented publicly on the ongoing outages that affect all of its services. If we learn any news, we will update the article and mark it accordingly.

UPDATE \u2013 6:25 p.m.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, WhatsApp has posted a short message on Twitter Explanation<\/a> and admitted to having been disturbed. The article states:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We're aware that some people are experiencing issues with WhatsApp at the moment. We're working to get things back under control and will provide an update here as soon as possible.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The same statements were also published on the official Facebook channel via Twitter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update \u2013 9:18 pm<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The disruption in the Facebook group continues. Loud<\/a> Jane Manchun Wong, Facebook's internal Workplace website and the associated services for employees are also affected by the outage today. The company then distributed a memo about the problems to employees. But what exactly caused the disruption? The cybercrime reporter Brian Krebs<\/a> attributes the outage to a major DNS problem. Krebs explains that the DNS entries that tell systems how to find Facebook and Instagram "were removed from the global routing channels this morning." How this could have happened, however, is not known.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update \u2013 00:05<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger are slowly but surely being restarted. Users should therefore gradually regain access to the services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
