Facebook, the world’s biggest Social Media organization has managed to resolve a major outage that affected its services like Instagram, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, and other Facebook services on Friday.
“Earlier today, a technical issue caused people to have trouble accessing some Facebook services. We resolved this issue for everyone, and we apologize for any inconvenience.”
During the outage, it was reported that more than 100,000 users reported issues with Instagram on DownDetector, more than 24,000 users reported issues with WhatsApp, and more than 5,000 users reported issues with Facebook Messenger.
According to sources, Instagram’s website during the outage stated the message “5xx Server Error.” Users reported that the issue didn’t solve itself even if the App was redownloaded to the phone and tried to log in but hit an error there during the outage.

But this is not the first time the service has went down, FaceBook services also suffered heavily during the 2019 Thanksgiving. It seems that the company needs to update its servers pretty soon.
