Facebook desktop version down worldwide

ISLAMABAD: Users around the world have reported that Facebook’s desktop browsers (such as Chrome, Edge, etc.) are not loading the site or are displaying errors, especially on Windows computers.

Users on X say they are unable to access Facebook.com from a web browser, while the same services are generally working fine on the mobile app and Apple Mac computers.

Users have reported that they are receiving messages such as “Something went wrong” or the page not loading when trying to open Facebook in the browser. Users in multiple countries have reported the same issue simultaneously for both Facebook and Instagram, indicating that this is not a local issue but a possible indication of a global technical glitch.

However, the technical glitch appears to be limited to browsers — users using the mobile app are accessing their news, messages, and feed normally, and the Facebook web version is also opening without issue on Apple’s macOS. This suggests that the issue may be related to a specific Windows browser compatibility or specific server connection, although Meta or Facebook have yet to issue an official statement on this.

According to reports on Downdetector, there has been a sudden increase in Facebook-related issues, indicating that a large group of users are unable to access the service using the browser.
