Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and WhatsApp are finally back online after hours-long outage
Facebook's services including Facebook, Messenger, Workplace, Whatsapp and Instagram were all facing service interruptions worldwide today.
Facebook services across America, Europe, and Asia are being disrupted this morning, causing users of Facebook itself, Facebook Messenger, and its sister services Instagram and WhatsApp to throw up error messages when attempting to access any of the sites and services on any OS. The issue could be related to DNS, as none of the domains are returning an IP. The outage is also affecting services that offer a Facebook login, such as Pokemon Go.
"Can't Talk" Lets You Auto-Reply to WhatsApp, Slack and More
An application called Can't Talk is currently available that lets you enable auto-reply messages for a number of apps including WhatsApp, Slack and more.
There are times in which you simply cannot (or should not) immediately reply to a message. However there are some social and professional messages that need at least something sent back to the other person, for both courtesy and acknowledgment. This is where an application called Can't Talk from XDA Senior Member crazyfool_1 comes in handy as it enables you to set up auto-reply messages for a number of services including WhatsApp, Slack, Email, SMS and more. The developer does say that the app auto-reply features will become an in-app purchase once it leaves beta. But they will give those who are in the beta a promo code once the in-app purchase is added.
