At the moment, it is not known what caused the failure, how serious it is and how many people cannot use Facebook and Instagram. We also do not know when both sites will come back to life. Considering the fact that both websites were down at the same time, we can assume that the servers are at fault. Several people in the editorial office confirmed that the websites do not work in the browser version. Mobile applications display at most old posts from a few days ago.
The only popular social networking platform at the moment - Twitter, is flooded with news about Facebook, Messenger and Instagram crashes.
If you cannot post a message or view the board on both portals - you are not the only one.

This time, what was unique about Facebook's long outage was that the problems affected more than just Facebook application users, but also the company's employees.
They did not enter the offices and were unable to do any work as downtime affected internal systems as well.
Overnight, Facebook posted an update about the downtime in a blog post dedicated to Facebook engineering . There they confirm that the downtime has also affected many of the company's internal tools and systems, writes Reuters.
Facebook reports that the downtime was caused by changes to the configuration of the backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between data centers.
