WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook have gone down in several parts for the world, users reported on Monday evening.
All three apps are owned by Facebook and run on a shared infrastructure.
“Sorry, something went wrong. We’re working on it and we’ll get it fixed as soon as we can,” a message on the Facebook website said.
Users posted messages on Twitter saying the popular social networking and communication platforms were inaccessible from around 9 pm Pakistan time.
The website downdetector.com, which tracks web services, also reported a sharp spike in complaints by users.
User reports indicate Facebook is having problems since 11:44 AM EDT. https://t.co/8wgYQLKxCu RT if you're also having problems #Facebookdown
