When Facebook is down, it is usually a fault with the social network. In this practical tip, we will show you why this is the case and whether you can do anything about it.

Facebook down: social network malfunction

To make sure that the problem is caused locally by your PC or your Internet, you should check your Internet connection. However, if you can access other websites normally, it is almost certainly a Facebook glitch.

• In such a case, there is unfortunately nothing you can do about the disruption. The problem is probably with the Facebook servers – the only thing that helps is to wait.
• If you have problems with mobile access to Facebook, you should reinstall the Facebook app on your Android or iOS device and check your mobile internet connection. Again, however, the cause may be Facebook itself.
