Social platforms experiencing outage issues worldwide

Users across the globe have reported difficulties using Facebook and Instagram. Issues on the social media sites range from users’ inability to log in to newsfeeds being unable to refresh. 

DownDetector.com, a website which tracks online service outages, lists tens of thousands of reports from users confirming the sites are down in their area. 

This latest instance of Facebook’s services going down comes just one month after the company’s biggest outage in its history. 

In March, it took Facebook 24 hours to announce that the issue which took its social media services offline had finally been resolved. The company blamed a “server configuration change” for the outage.
