Is Facebook down right now or is my app broken?

Check Facebook's real-time status on this page. Our monitoring system checks Facebook servers every 30 seconds. If Facebook is operational but your app keeps crashing, the issue is device-specific and can be fixed by updating the app, clearing cache, or freeing up storage space.
