LinkedIn was down

Both the apps and website went offline temporarily, while LinkedIn’s status page confirmed the issues with a message posted at 4:04PM ET saying, “Some members may be experiencing issues on LinkedIn. We’re actively working on this and will provide updates as we have them. Thanks for your patience!” As of 5:05PM ET, the most recent message says, “This has now been resolved and we’re back up and running. Apologies for any inconvenience caused and thanks for your patience!”

There’s no sign this problem with the Microsoft-owned social network was connected to Meta’s technical issue on Tuesday or problems elsewhere — no problems were listed with Azure’s cloud or any other services we could spot. The internet connectivity trackers at NetBlocks confirmed the outage affected multiple countries.

X execs took a victory lap when Andy Stone had to tweet because Threads and Facebook were down yesterday, and again pitched their new hiring pages during this short disruption, but now things are back to normal.

Update March 6th, 5:27PM ET: Noted access has been restored.
