Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp down: services with malfunction again

Just a few days ago there were a lot of Facebook services nicht erreichbar – Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp are down again. This time, however, the problem does not seem to affect all users.
Just in time for the start of the weekend, things are going wrong again on Facebook, the most important social media platforms are once again unavailable. Only a few days ago, a faulty routing configuration caused hours of downtime. Now the feed on Facebook and Instagram does not load again, on Messenger and WhatsApp no messages go out or in.
Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp disturbed - not all
This time, however, it seems that, in comparison to the last outage, it does not affect all users at the same time and worldwide. It is mainly users from Germany, Austria and Switzerland who are currently having problems accessing the social media platforms. Users from other European countries are also currently struggling with access problems. Error messages such as "Feed could not be reloaded", "Unfortunately something went wrong" in Instagram or the clock symbol in WhatsApp are common. As usual, restarting the router, smartphone or laptop does not help.
We provide updates on the malfunction here.
