Images do not load: Fault on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp has now been resolved
From yesterday afternoon until this morning there were disruptions on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. For hours it was not possible to download and send pictures and other media. On Insta, for example, you couldn't look at or post any stories or pictures. The fault has now been remedied.
It seems like there was a few hours yesterday Proproblem with Facebook's CDN. This so-called "Content Delivery Network" delivers images and media via several servers. Thus, requests can be better distributed and the CDN can contain content available faster put. Since exactly all three services use this CDN, media (such as pictures, voice messages and videos) could not be viewed or sent.
Fixed a problem with Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp
At first you thought you were yourself Proproblems with the internet or your own smartphone. With all three services, loading bars or arrows to reload the content were repeatedly displayed - always without success. There is a reason that all services usually fail at the same time: all three services have been linked for several years and all belong to Facebook. These use the same servers and the same infrastructure. Only on the outside does it not appear as if that would be the case.
Earlier today, some people and businesses experienced trouble uploading or sending images, videos and other files on our apps and platforms. The issue has since been resolved and we should be back at 100% for everyone. We're sorry for any inconvenience.
