If you’re having problems with Facebook Messenger, then you are not alone. Users are running to Downdetector to report the messaging platform is down.

In the last few hours, reports have spiked as high as 172 with issues pertaining to non-receipt, delayed, and unsent messages.

A quick look at Twitter corroborates the issue, affecting different countries including the Philippines. Not all users are affected (I have not experienced any issues so far).
