Users on Reddit also report issues with Messenger.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll be keeping an eye out for additional reports to help give us a better picture of the scope of this outage, and hopefully get some official word on a cause and progress towards a fix.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
