GENERAL NEWS
Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram all down in major update
WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook have all gone down in a major software update.
The three apps – which are all owned by Facebook, and run on shared infrastructure – all have completely stopped working.
Other products that are part of the same family of apps, such as Facebook Workplace, also stopped working.
Visitors to the Facebook website simply saw an error page or a message that their browser could not connect.
The WhatsApp and Instagram apps continued to work but did not show new content, including any message sent or received.
Meanwhile, Whatsapp has issued a statement confirming they are having a major update which is essentially causing the outage.
We’re aware that some people are experiencing issues with WhatsApp at the moment. We’re working to get things back to normal and will send an update here as soon as possible.
Thanks for your patience!

Facebook’s outages happen rarely but tend to be vast in their impact, not least because they affect three of the world’s biggest apps.
The company is often cryptic about the causes of any issue and does not tend to explain them even after they are fixed.
In 2019, for instance, it suffered its biggest outage in years – and said it had “triggered an issue” during “routine maintenance operations”.
In a leaked transcript published in The Verge in 2019, Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg noted that such outages are a “big deal”. Any problem can often lead people to start using competitors and noted that it can take “months” to win back trust and get people back on Facebook’s platforms – if they come back at all.
A soldier belonging to the 3rd Battalion Infantry in Sunyani has been murdered in Tafia, a suburb of Ashaiman, in the Greater Accra region, on Friday, 3rd March 2023.
Imoro Sheriff, a 21-year-old boy was allegedly killed by a gang after he visited his girlfriend in the area.
Imoro, whose position could not be immediately verified, was attacked with knives and other weapons, immediately after leaving the girlfriend’s home.
It was said that Imoro usually visits his girlfriend anytime he goes to Ashaiman where he was born and raised.
When the Ghanaian Times visited the family home of Imoro, at Zongolika, a suburb of Ashaiman, on Monday, mourners were in a state of shock. The father of the deceased, Asanubu Imoro, confirmed the death of his son, saying he heard it via social media.
Asanubu Imoro said the son, who was based in Sunyani, Bono Region, informed him that he was attending a military programme in Accra and will visit family members on Friday.
“We were expecting him. When we called his number late into the night, there was no response. Somebody showed me a video and asked, do you know this man, that was when I identified my son.”
According to Asanubu Imoro, the military and other security agencies have been in close contact with the family as the investigation into the killing was ongoing.
When the Ghanaian Times contacted the Ashaiman Divisional Police Command concerning the incident, the authorities declined to speak on the matter, but indicated that 13 suspects had been arrested so far.
