As stated previously, Instagram and WhatsApp were not left out of this predicament. No messages or Content could be uploaded to either of these platforms.
Why is Facebook Down – Facebook is Not Working
One thing with Facebook is that they barely reveal the reason for any of the issues they face. And unluckily, they did not tell us anything concerning why it went down. As a matter of fact, no notice of Facebook or the other platforms (Instagram and WhatsApp) going down was passed, as it came as a shock to all users.
Facebook spokesperson Andy Stone stated on Twitter that “we are aware that some people are having issues accessing our apps and products. “we are working to get things back to normal as soon as possible, we are sorry for the inconveniences.”
WhatsApp and Instagram Updates Users on issue
WhatsApp also updated their users on their Twitter handle saying that “they are aware that some people are experiencing issues with the platform at the moment, and they are working on it and would update its users As soon as possible.”
Facebook is Back
Facebook and other apps that went down began coming back online slowly, after being down for almost 5 hours. The issue disrupted the lives of billions of users online, which is not a good look for Facebook.
A spokesperson of Facebook stated that the services were coming back online slowly. He also cautioned that it might take some time for the services to return to the way it was. So at the moment, you should be able to access Facebook and the other services, but not their entire feature due to it slow recovery.
