[UPDATE]
So, after hours of Facebook's family of social app being down, Instagram is back in action and they took it to Twitter with a gif!
However, netizens don't really seem impressed and some of them still can't load the page. Look at how they responded.
Hmm, looks like Instagram's got to work on it again. It's alright, one at a time, people.
Breathe. Is your social app working now?
[END OF UPDATE]
It’s a dark and gloomy day for those who woke up to no social media notifications this morning. Users were reporting difficulties accessing Facebook and Instagram, which have been down for hours for many since last night.
This comes shortly after Google’s suite of productivity services were plagued by similar issues yesterday.

Whatsapp is also reportedly affected by the outage, but only in certain countries.
Facebook itself tweeted to inform users about the issue, and as usual the Twitterverse was not having it.

Facebook also tweeted that “the issue is not related to a DDoS attack.”

Users across the globe have been flooding Twitter (clearly it’s the ONLY way to connect right now) with their frustrations and comments about the issue. It looks like Facebook is the only platform that is fully inaccessible (for now) while Whatsapp and Instagram are still usable, but certain functions like posting pictures and sending files is still said to be wonky.
For now, here’s some hilarious tweets from users while you ‘patiently’ wait for these apps to function again…
So much frustration, huh? We feel you. What are you doing to kill time at the moment?
