Social media users were left frustrated on Sunday after WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook were reportedly down worldwide. At the time of publishing, news feeds on Facebook wouldn’t refresh, while posting was impossible. Instagram also could not refresh the feed, while WhatsApp messages had not been coming through.
“Checking for WhatsApp messages,” was the only notification coming through on WhatsApp for some users.
The hashtags #WhatsAppDown, #InstagramDown and #FacebookDown have been trending on Twitter worldwide, alongside Zuckerberg, with social media users voicing their frustrations.
