Can't send messages on Facebook Messenger or Instagram? Don't worry, the problem is not you, but a failure in the Facebook application servers. Apparently, many users are experiencing failures to send or even receive messages from Facebook, the Facebook Messenger app or via Instagram direct messages. What is the reason?
Reports started early this morning and have multiplied over the past hour.It affects various Facebook services: messages from the social network itself, Facebook Messenger and direct messages from Instagram. Most users agree on Downdetector, a portal specialized where users can share the failures they observe on the different platforms: messages cannot be sent or the messages we have received do not load. Apparently, this bug mainly affects Europe, but there are also bugs in other parts of the world.

Facebook Messenger and Instagram are down?
No, it's not your internet connection, nor your application, nor your mobile.The problem is a small drop in the Facebook servers At the moment the company has not ruled on it, but it is very likely that they have already solved the problem and that during the next few hours we can already send and receive messages. It is important to note that this drop does not affect all users. Fortunately, it also does not affect WhatsApp, the messaging application that also belongs to Facebook. In addition, the rest of Zuckerberg's social network and Instagram Feed and Stories appear to be working as normal.
If you need to use Facebook Messenger, pleaseyou can try signing in from another device or from the mobile app and see if you can send or receive messages from there. The same with Instagram: try accessing it from the browser and see if you can send or receive messages.
If you want to check the status of Facebook's servers, you can go to this page. We will update this entry as soon as we have news about the small drop that affects some functions of Facebook and Instagram.
