Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp working again after global outage !

Social media has undoubtedly become an indispensable part of our daily lives and it is safe to say that when it’s down, things do get difficult. Platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp were down in what is believed to be the largest outage ever seen. They got partially reconnected early on Tuesday morning after almost six hours and now are back online. The platforms went down around 9 PM on Monday. While Whatsapp wasn’t sending or receiving messages, Instagram couldn’t refresh its feed and Facebook took forever to load. Facebook experienced one of the worst outages in its history on Monday (4th Oct 2021) , leaving users around the world unable to access its platforms, including Instagram and WhatsApp, for several hours. By late on Monday, the services were slowly coming back online, with the company apologizing for the extended disruption. “To the huge community of people and businesses around the world who depend on us: we’re sorry. We’ve been working hard to restore access to our apps and services and are happy to report they are coming back online now,” Facebook tweeted.
