What to do if Messenger isn’t working
- Check this page first. If many people are reporting problems, it’s an outage and the fix is on Messenger’s side. Waiting is usually the only option.
- Check your connection. Open another website or app. If nothing loads, restart your router or switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
- Restart and update. Close Messenger completely, reopen it, and install any app or system updates.
- Sign out and back in, or try the website instead of the app (or the other way round).
- Turn off VPNs or ad blockers for a moment, as they can block some services.

Questions about Messenger outages
Is Messenger down right now?
This page checks Messenger every 5 minutes and shows reports from people having problems. The status at the top of the page is the latest result and updates on its own.
Why is Messenger not working for me?
If the status shows no problems, the cause is probably local: your internet connection, an out-of-date app, your device or your network. Try the steps under “What to do if Messenger isn’t working”.
How does this checker work?
We check whether Messenger responds every 5 minutes, read its official status page where one is published, and count reports from visitors. A sudden rise in reports compared with normal levels is often the first sign of an outage.
