There seem to be more and more occasions recently when people are unable to get into Facebook. Sometimes it can be your own issue (perhaps with your wireless connection or with your computer) but other times it may be the case that Facebook has gone down for a large number of people, if not everybody.
Today (20 November 2018) Facebook seems to have gone down or just gone slow for some people but there will likely be other occasions when this happens.
Sometimes you may get a completely blank screen, either with or without an error message or it may be that your feed just loads really slowly or you can’t click through to another area of Facebook.
Inevitably people turn to social media alternatives to find out if Facebook has indeed gone down and the hashtag #facebookdown is a well used one.
If you are looking to find out if Facebook has gone down, or its it is just you, check out this link so that you can see if there are a bunch of posts from users unable to get into Facebook.
You can also just tweet with the hashtag yourself to add to the conversation that tells people that Facebook is offline!
Why does Facebook go down? Well that could be down to a number of factors including a possible error when an update has been installed and for some reason things haven’t been checked as well as they could have been.
