Three popular social media apps, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook are currently down.
The apps/websites have been down for some minutes now with users unable to use it.
The three apps – which are all owned by Facebook, and run on shared infrastructure – all completely stopped working shortly before 5pm. Other products that are part of the same family of apps, such as Facebook Workplace, also stopped working.
A visit on Facebook website shows error as the browser refuses to connect.
The WhatsApp and Instagram apps continued to work, but did not show new content, including any messages sent or received during the problems.
