Facebook and Instagram they have been having very big functioning problems all over the world for several tens of minutes, a very large number of users reporting that they cannot use both social networks. This is the first time in recent months that Facebook and Instagram are down in tandem for many users around the world, all without an explanation.
Neither do those from Facebook, nor those from Instagram they did not provide any possible cause for the problems due to which both networks are available with limited functionality, or are not available. Although Facebook and Instagram display some information in the applications, and on the web versions, many functions are not available, including those for uploading pictures.
Facebook and Instagram they will return to normal operation in the next few hours, but no one knows exactly when.
UPDATED: Facebook claims that it will try to solve the existing problems as soon as possible.
FB statement: "We're aware that some people are currently having trouble accessing the Facebook family of apps. We're working to resolve the issue as soon as possible."
