The Facebook app is down for many — here’s what we know about the outage | Daily Reports Online

The reports are growing
Today’s reports of issues with the Facebook app are continuing to move in the wrong direction — we’re now at 1,175 reports on Downdetector in the US and counting, while the UK isn’t far behind with 580 reports.
These issues seem to be specific to the mobile app, with over 80% of reports on Downdetector related to the app rather than the website or login issues. There’s still no official comment from Meta, but I’ll be expecting one soon if these reports continue to grow.
What’s wrong with the Facebook app?
Right now, hundreds of people are reporting that the Facebook app isn’t working properly — with the most common complaint being that it simply closes when they open it.
We haven’t been able to replicate the issues here on TechRadar, but the comments on Downdetector and social media point to similar issues. Some say it simply “keeps closing down when I open it”, while other are reporting that that a pop-up box says that there’s a known bug.
