Understanding Facebook Messenger outages
By checking the operational status of Facebook Messenger, you can determine if the problem is on your end (like your local WiFi or internet provider) or if it's a widespread server issue. When our graphs show a spike in reports, it indicates a confirmed disruption in their network architecture.
What to do when Facebook Messenger is not working for you
If our data shows that Facebook Messenger is operational, but you still cannot connect, try the following steps:
- Power cycle your home internet equipment.
- Delete stored app data or clear your web browser cache.
- Switch from a Wi-Fi connection to mobile data to rule out ISP routing issues.
- Update your mobile app or web browser to the newest release.
Major disruptions to cloud infrastructure usually take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to fully resolve.
