Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp is Down
GoldenNewsNg report that Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp are currently down for many users.
Following the above report, the company did not say what might be causing the outage, which began around 11:40 . Websites and apps often suffer outages of varying size and duration, but hours-long global disruptions are rare.
According to Doug Madory, director of internet analysis for Kentik Inc: The last major internet outage, which knocked many of the world’s top websites offline in June, lasted less than an hour. The stricken content delivery company in that case, Fastly, blamed it on a software but triggered by a customer who changed a setting.
Facebook’s only public comment so far was a tweet in which it acknowledged that “some people are having trouble accessing (the) Facebook app” and that it was working on restoring access. Regarding the internal failures, Instagram head Adam Mosseri tweeted that it feels like a “snow day.”
