There are, unfortunately, no dedicated status pages for WhatsApp and Instagram, but the Facebook platform status doesn't currently show any known issues, instead reporting that the platform as a whole is "healthy". Originally reported by the Independent, the three Facebook-related services appear to be having issues at the moment, as multiple users have started reporting that they can't access the applications.
Unfortunately, several users have reported issues with WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram, all three of which appear to be down right now. Social media has become an integral part of many of our lives, with instant messaging apps often paving a way for other ways to communicate and keep up with friends. The official Twitter account for the Facebook App put out the same message as Mr Stone, as did representatives for Instagram and WhatsApp on Twitter.Update: The services for WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and Instagram appear to be back up and running now. "We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience." "We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products," he wrote on Twitter.
Facebook's communications executive Andy Stone tweeted this afternoon to say the social media giant is aware of the current issues and is "working to get things back to normal."
