Facebook Down For Some In India? Users Report Loading Problems On Desktop

Several users in India are facing issues while accessing Facebook, particularly on desktop browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Many users report that the platform is either not loading or displaying blank screens and error messages.

As of now, outage tracking website Downdetector has not reported any major widespread disruption. This suggests that the problem may be limited to certain users or specific regions rather than a nationwide outage.

Here's what users are experiencing:

• Facebook's homepage is not opening
• Login attempts are showing error messages
• In some cases, only a blank white screen appears
• The feed either does not refresh or loads very slowly
• Browsers display connection timeout errors

Many users say the issue is more common on Chrome and Firefox. The mobile app, however, seems to be working normally, making this mainly a desktop problem.

Is Facebook down across India?

Not really. So far, there is no confirmation of a widespread outage, and many users are still able to access the platform without issues.

What could be causing the problem?

Some possible reasons being discussed include:

• DNS issues that prevent browsers from locating Facebook's servers
• Problems with the content delivery network (CDN), affecting certain regions
• Browser-related issues like cache, cookies, or stored sessions interfering with loading
• Possible backend updates or maintenance affecting select users

What can you do?

If you are facing this issue, you can try:

• Refreshing the page after a few minutes
• Opening Facebook in Incognito or Private mode
