Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp Working Again after an Outage that Affected Photos

Social media platforms, Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp are back to normal after the popular social networking apps experienced technical issues whereby pictures, videos and voice notes could not be sent or downloaded.

According to a website that measures the status of popular websites, Downdetector, the outages began on Wednesday morning across the world.

In the early morning hours of Thursday, Facebook posted to Twitter saying that it had fixed the issues “and we should be back at 100% for everyone”.

It’s the latest in a series of outages the social media giant has experienced in recent months.

More than 13.000 people reported experiencing issues with Facebook on May 29, while more than 9000 said they were affected by technical issues during an outage on April 14.

Twitter users commented on the outages on Wednesday, with some joking that the reason people were using Twitter was simply that other major social networks were experiencing technical issues.
