About BBC News

BBC News is the news division of the British Broadcasting Corporation, a publicly funded broadcaster based in London, United Kingdom. It began on 14 November 1922 and is owned and operated by the BBC. Its official sites are bbc.co.uk/news and bbc.com/news.
BBC News is the news division of the BBC, the publicly funded British broadcaster. Its website and apps bring you headlines, live coverage, and reports from correspondents around the world. When something stops working here, it is rarely a full outage. Most problems are brief and affect only the site, the app, or video streaming. This page tracks reported issues in real time, so you can see at a glance whether others are affected too.
BBC News is the news arm of the British Broadcasting Corporation, funded by the public and headquartered in London. It publishes breaking stories, live pages, video, and analysis through its website and mobile apps. Coverage runs around the clock, so even small interruptions get noticed quickly. The most common complaints involve the app freezing or refusing to open, slow loading during major news events, and trouble signing in to a BBC account. Video playback and server connections can also falter when traffic spikes. These problems are usually temporary and tied to demand rather than lasting faults. Before you report an issue, try a few things yourself. Force-close the app and reopen it, or check for an update in your app store. Clear the app cache if pages stall. A poor connection on your end can look identical to a service problem, so test another site or switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data. If the website loads but the app does not, the fault is likely on your device.

Questions

Is BBC News down right now?

According to reports on this page, BBC News looks fine for most people. Isolated failures still happen — report yours if you are stuck.

When was the last mass outage?

Why does the BBC News app freeze or crash on my phone?

A frozen app is usually a local issue rather than a service problem. Force-close the app, reopen it, and install any pending update from your app store. Clearing the app cache also helps if it keeps stalling.

Why is the site or app slow during big news events?

When a major story breaks, many people open BBC News at the same time, and pages can load slowly for a while. Try the live page instead of the homepage, or reload after a minute. Speed usually returns to normal as traffic settles.
