Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger all share Meta infrastructure. A major Meta outage takes all four down at once (most famously in October 2021, for six hours).
A stuck News Feed usually means Meta's feed service is degraded. Reads are slow or failing even though the core site loads. Wait 10 minutes or try the mobile app.
Write operations (posts, comments, reactions) can fail while reads work. This is a common partial outage pattern. Try later or via mobile.
If Facebook loads but shows "Action Blocked" messages or locks you out, the issue is account-specific, not a Facebook outage. Check your notifications and account support tools.
Many employers and schools block Facebook. If Facebook fails on one network but works on another, your network is filtering it.
A corrupted cache can cause errors that mimic an outage. Clearing cookies for facebook.com or clearing the Facebook app cache usually fixes it.
A good signal: if Messenger also fails, it's almost certainly a Meta-wide issue. If Messenger works but Facebook doesn't, the problem is either a partial outage or on your side.

They share Meta infrastructure and usually go down together. If only one is broken, it's a partial outage.
Write infrastructure can fail while reads still work. Wait a bit and try again.
Likely — many employers block social media. Test on mobile data.
Usually a cache problem. Pull down to refresh, or log out and back in.
