- Facebook is down with the social networking site not working for hundreds of users
Facebook is down right now with hundreds of users reporting issues with the hugely popular social media service.
In Pakistan, problems appear to have begun at around 1:30am with many users unable to gain access to their news feeds or log in. “Facebook is down for required maintenance right now, but you should be able to get back on within a few minutes,” read a message after a failure of the log in.
In the meantime, “read more about why you’re seeing this message. Thanks for your patience as we improve the site,” the message said. It’s currently unclear what is causing the issues are or how many users are affected but Twitter is full of reports of problems. Many users are being met with a blank screen as they try and access Facebook, while some others cannot connect to WhatsApp.
An update from Facebook says it is down for maintenance, but some are getting an error code 1 or 2 when they try to log in. Others are seeing the message: “Your account is currently unavailable due to a site issue. We expect this to be resolved shortly. Please try again in a few minutes.”
Down Detector, an international company, says Facebook is having issues since 4:50 PM EDT.

“Checking twitter for #Facebookdown after nothing will post, minutes after putting a post up that someone disagreed with, so thinking I was banned,” one user posted a message.
