Facebook Messenger Reportedly Down Worldwide, Users Report Issues Accessing Messages

A widespread outage affecting Facebook Messenger was reported across several countries on Friday evening, with incidents beginning to spike at around 7:30 PM Nepal Time.

Users reported being unable to send or receive messages, while many others said conversations were failing to load entirely. In addition to messaging issues, numerous users claimed they were automatically logged out of Messenger and Facebook accounts, prompting concerns about a broader service disruption affecting Meta’s platforms.

Reports shared on social media indicated that some users were repeatedly asked to log in again, while others encountered connection errors, blank chat screens, and failed message delivery notifications.

The disruption appears to be affecting users globally, suggesting the issue is linked to Meta’s backend systems rather than regional internet providers. The outage quickly became a trending topic online as users searched for information about the unexpected login problems and messaging failures.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Messenger, had not immediately released an official statement regarding the cause of the outage at the time of publication. Engineers are expected to investigate whether the automatic logouts are related to authentication systems or a wider infrastructure issue.

Facebook Messenger remains one of the world’s largest messaging platforms, making even short disruptions noticeable for millions of users who depend on the service for daily communication, business operations, and customer support.

Users experiencing issues are advised not to repeatedly change passwords unless instructed by Meta, as the problems appear to be linked to the ongoing service outage rather than individual account security concerns.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
