Facebook down: Users experiencing global outage

By RNZ

Facebook is reportedly down for many users globally.

There has been a huge spike in outage reports in New Zealand since about 2.30pm on Thursday, but it appears to have extended worldwide.

Users are unable to access the desktop domain, and are instead greeted by a “sorry, something went wrong” message.

“We’re working on getting this fixed as soon as we can”, it continues with only a ‘go back’ and ‘help’ button offered.

There have been almost 300 outage reports in Auckland alone.

The outages appeared to be slowly resolving by 4pm, according to outage detection websites.

The Facebook app still appears to be functioning.
