The world stopped for over six hours—well the online world did. If you weren’t aware, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp all stopped working on Monday due to an outage. So what happened and are the platforms working normally now? Here’s what sent the world into a frenzy.

Starting around 11:35 a.m. ET, users weren’t able to post comments or refresh their feeds while Facebook and Instagram displayed error messages. On WhatsApp, users couldn’t send or recieve messages or phone calls. By 6 p.m. ET, some of the services became available again.

This was the longest downtime for Facebook since March 2019 when the service was down for around 24 hours across many platforms.

“To the huge community of people and businesses around the world who depend on us: we’re sorry,” Facebook tweeted. “We’ve been working hard to restore access to our apps and services and are happy to report they are coming back online now. Thank you for bearing with us.”

The blackout impacted Twitter, with users flocking to, which caused stress on the servers.“Sometimes more people than usual use Twitter. We prepare for these moments, but today things didn’t go exactly as planned. Some of you may have had an issue seeing replies and DMs as a result. This has been fixed. Sorry about that!”, the tweet read.

“Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger are coming back online now,” he wrote. “Sorry for the disruption today — I know how much you rely on our services to stay connected with the people you care about,” Mark Zuckerberg wrote on his Facebook page.

We’re just glad all are back and running. Almost seven hours without social media was a real nightmare.
