BREAKING: Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram Are Back Online After Hours-Long Blackout

Facebook, Instagram and the widely-used WhatsApp messaging service are gradually returning to normal after an hours-long global outage that disabled the Facebook-owned social media platforms for some six hours.

In a post on rival platform Twitter on Monday evening, Facebook confirmed its apps were coming back online and apologised to users for a blackout that affected millions of people across the world.

Other products that are part of the same family of apps, such as Facebook Workplace, also stopped working amid the global outage.

This is not the first time the social networking apps have suffered an outage this year.

In April and June this year, the social networking sites all went down due to a “network configuration issue”, a development that affected their users across the globe.

Users were not able to send messages, receive messages on Whatsapp, as all the messages and chats were left undelivered.
