However, Facebook communications executive, Andy Stone, on Twitter, acknowledged that people were having trouble accessing Facebook apps and products.

There are no words from Facebook yet about what may be causing the problems or when these platforms will be fully operational again. Reports have it that the last time Facebook had a disruption of this magnitude was in 2008 when the site had 150m users – compared to its over 2 billion active users today. Instagram went down for 1 hour sometimes just last month, and all Facebook platforms went down in June. A similar incident occurred a few months ago. Remember that this isn’t the first time the social media networks have been down. According to Downdetector, the current malfunctioning of the social media platforms is due to a widespread outage at Facebook. This problem is similar to the Slack outage which occurred last week, which was due to their recurring DNS problems. Reports from downdetector show that there have been over 50,000 reports from users about Instagram currently unavailable, 33,000 for Facebook and over 121 reports for Facebook. The social media app Facebook, its photo-sharing app Instagram, and social networking app WhatsApp are experiencing downtime with thousands of its users unable to access them globally, according to reports from outrage tracking website .Īlthough the cause of the interruption has not yet been made public, the social media giant turned to Twitter to acknowledge the glitch on it platforms.
