Facebook is a social platform on the 503Radar board. We watch News Feed, Messenger, Login & Account, Groups & Pages and Marketplace for outage signals — public crowd chatter and first-party visitor reports. 503Radar does not read a machine-readable Facebook status feed, so this board reflects crowd signals only.

Facebook outage FAQ
honest answersIs Facebook down right now?
503Radar publishes a live Facebook verdict at the top of this page, stamped in UTC and rewritten by the detection pipeline whenever the signals change — not a cached daily snapshot. 503Radar does not read a machine-readable Facebook status feed, so this verdict rests on crowd reports from public platforms and first-party visitor reports. A quiet radar means we have no evidence of a Facebook outage — not a verified all-green.
How does 503Radar detect Facebook outages?
We monitor public outage chatter across forums, social platforms and developer communities, first-party "seeing this too" reports from visitors. Facebook publishes no feed we can read automatically, so its status page (www.facebook.com) is linked for you rather than parsed. A statistical anomaly across two or more independent evidence classes becomes a Signal; an official acknowledgement upgrades it to Confirmed. The full pipeline is documented on our methodology page — no black boxes.
Why is Facebook not working for me?
If 503Radar shows no elevated signals, the problem may be on your side: connectivity, DNS, a VPN or browser extension, or an account-specific issue. Try another network or device and check www.facebook.com for maintenance notices. You can also file a report here — enough independent reports from different countries open a community watch on the board.
What Facebook services does 503Radar track?
For Facebook we watch outage signals across News Feed, Messenger, Login & Account, Groups & Pages and Marketplace. Coverage is signal-driven: we track what people actually report, plus everything Facebook publishes on its official status feed.
