The “increased error rate and delay” – that made Facebook users around the world to experience ‘service unavailable’ on Tuesday – is being worked on, a Facebook team member has said.
TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports Facebook family of apps was hit by major outages, with users reporting that the sites’ home pages showed a “service unavailable” message.
“We are currently experiencing issues that may cause some API requests to take longer or fail unexpectedly. We are investigating the issue and working on a resolution,” Marissa Hoek, a member of a Facebook team working to restore the platform to normalcy, said.
Facebook, Facebook Messenger and Instagram were all affected in the outages, and users had problems logging in to their accounts, the second in about a week for Facebook.
Instagram users found that the web service would not load, though the app appeared to be working, and Facebook’s Messenger app reportedly crashed all around the world.
Facebook had earlier took to Twitter to confirm the development after users of the social media network erupted on the micro-blogging platform and #FacebookDown memes began to spread.
“We know some people are having trouble accessing the Facebook family of apps. We’re working to resolve the issue as soon as possible,” tweeted Facebook handle on Twitter.
