Internet Status — July 23, 2026: All Clear — Meta Stable After Wednesday's Global Outage

The internet is operating normally today. Core cloud providers (AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure), major CDNs (Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai), and major platforms (Slack, Zoom, Discord, Atlassian, Stripe, Vercel, Heroku, DigitalOcean, OpenAI) all report healthy status. No BGP routing incidents, DNS failures, or undersea cable events have been detected.

Recently resolved: Meta suffered a global outage on Wednesday, July 22, starting around 13:00 GMT. Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp were unreachable or degraded for millions of users across Europe, the UK, the US, and other regions, with many users logged out or shown "account temporarily unavailable" errors. Service recovered within one to two hours, and Meta platforms have been stable since — notably, this was the second Meta disruption in 72 hours, following a smaller wave of reports on July 19. Analysts pointed to a possible DNS-related root cause, though Meta has not confirmed details. Separately, GitHub resolved a latency incident this morning affecting Webhooks, Pull Requests, Issues, and Actions, with recovery by 09:39 UTC (githubstatus.com).

Minor ongoing items, localized and not internet-wide: Cloudflare continues to investigate degraded availability for specific Workers AI models, an issue open since mid-June (cloudflarestatus.com). Twilio reports regional telecom issues — voice call failures to subscribers in India (ongoing since July 17), SMS delivery delays involving Romania, and degraded voice performance in parts of APAC (status.twilio.com). Localized ISP-level connectivity problems were also reported in the Houston, Texas area on July 22.
