As of October 21, 2025, a major internet outage primarily caused by Amazon Web Services (AWS) disrupted numerous popular apps and websites worldwide. The affected apps include Snapchat, Canva, Roblox, Fortnite, Duolingo, Reddit, Ring, Venmo, Slack, Amazon, and several banking apps like Lloyds Bank and Halifax. Additionally, services such as Prime Video, Coinbase, Microsoft 365, Zoom, and many others relying on AWS infrastructure experienced disruptions. The outage began around October 20 and caused widespread issues with cloud- based platforms and online services, impacting communication, gaming, finance, and entertainment apps globally. AWS has been working on mitigating the issue, restoring many services, but some instability may persist due to the scale of the disruption.
