Facebook started off the week with one heck of a blunder, watching all of its services go down worldwide for over 6 hours. Now to close out the week, there’s another large-scale outage affecting Instagram in particular. People started to notice issues with Instagram not loading or refreshing around 3 p.m. ET, and the problems seem to be sporadic — but there are enough reports out there now that we can say there’s a large-scale problem afoot.
We’re also seeing reports of problems with Facebook, Messenger, and WhatsApp — though on a much smaller scale that has us thinking the issue is particularly focused on Instagram.
This is a developing story
