Facebook and Instagram go down for reasons unknown: ‘Something went wrong’ Facebook and Instagram go down for reasons unknown: ‘Something went wrong’
(32 minutes later)
Facebook and Instagram, which is owned by Facebook, have suffered a major outage, prompting users to flock to Twitter to vent their frustration. While both sites have swiftly recovered, no explanation was given for the issue.
Tens of thousands of users reported outages on both platforms on Thursday, according to the tracking site Down Detector, with more than 130,000 reports for Facebook alone.
Although the issue did not last long, and both Facebook and its photo-sharing app appeared to come back online in less than half an hour after first reports of the outage came in, the brief blackout was enough to send blindsided users into full-blown panic mode.
Countless netizens swarmed to Twitter to voice rage about the glitches, some frantically refreshing their Insta page in hopes it would come back.
