In what seems to be the longest ever outage for Facebook and its services, for close to 10 hours now (and counting), **Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook.com, and even Oculus servers seem to be down** for many users globally. Reportedly, affected users are facing issues sending messages on Messenger, many have complained about being unable to post to the feed on all Facebook products, and accessing other features on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Users have said that they are also unable to login to apps like Tinder and Spotify via Facebook.
