The servers of popular social media applications — WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook — are currently down as thousands of users are reportedly unable to refresh their feed or send and receive messages.
The source of the outage wasn’t immediately clear, but WhatsApp and Instagram seem to be the most affected. Both apps are unable to refresh, with WhatsApp stuck “connecting.” Likewise, Instagram is displaying an error message that it “couldn’t refresh feed.”
No official statement has been released from the parent company, Facebook, as at the time of filing this report.
