Is Facebook down?

Right now, Facebook appears to be operational. We couldn't read Facebook's official status page, but our independent checks can reach it, so it appears to be working.

AIDownCheck runs an independent reachability check from our own servers, separate from Facebook's official status page. If our check passes but you still can't connect, the problem is more likely local — try a different network, clear your cookies, disable VPN/extensions, or use a different browser. If our check is failing too, it's more likely Facebook's side.

Common causes are an upstream provider incident, API rate limits during peak demand, a regional CDN issue, or maintenance. Facebook is currently operational. We show the official status, our independent check, and a confidence level so you can see which signals point to a real problem.

Good alternatives include Instagram, Threads, X, Reddit. We track their live status too, so you can switch to one that's currently operational.

Facebook's official status page is at https://metastatus.com. AIDownCheck reads it automatically and combines it with our own checks — so you get the answer without juggling tabs.
