Other products that are part of the same family of apps, such as Facebook Workplace, also stopped working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visitors to the Facebook website simply saw an error page or a message that their browser could not connect. The WhatsApp and Instagram apps continued to work, but did not show new content, including any messages sent or received during the problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Facebook\u2019s outages happen relatively rarely but tend to be vast in their impact, not least because they affect three of the world\u2019s biggest apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company is often cryptic about the causes of any issues, and does not tend to explain them even after they are fixed. In 2019, for instance, it suffered its biggest outage in years \u2013 and said only that it had \u201ctriggered an issue\u201d during \u201croutine maintenance operations\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a leaked transcript published in The Verge in 2019, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg note that such outages are a \u201cbig deal\u201d. Any problems can often lead people to start using competitors instead, and noted that it can take \u201cmonths\u201d to win back trust and get people back on Facebook\u2019s platforms \u2013 if they come back at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong>The Independent<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook have all gone down in a major outage.
