Facebook goes down for users around the world

New Delhi: Facebook appears to have gone down for a wide number of users across the globe. Users can't log in to the social networking site.

On logging in to Facebook.com, a message appears that reads: "Sorry, something went wrong. We are working on getting this fixed as soon as we can."

There is a "Go Back" button underneath this message that redirects users to the log in page, but when you try to log in again it shows the same message. The problem is not limited to the web app, even the Facebook app for Android is unable to load news feed.

If tweets are an indicator, this Facebook outage appears to have impacted many countries globally.

"Facebook is currently experiencing an issue that is affecting all API and web surfaces. Our engineers detected the issue quickly and are working to resolve it ASAP. We'll update shortly," says a post on the Facebook Developers Platform Live Status page.
