WhatsApp and Instagram down for an hour. Facebook apologizes

by admin

After a stop of about an hour, apparently all over the world, two of the most used apps, WhatsApp and Instagram, or those of messaging and sharing images owned by Facebook, have resumed working. It also appears that the problem also affected Messenger. The malfunction immediately became one of the most commented topics on another very popular platform, namely Twitter. The problem did not cause repercussions on the stock of Facebook, which continues to earn about 4% on Wall Street.

«Today, a technical problem caused users to have problems accessing some Facebook services. We have solved this problem and we apologize for any inconvenience ». Thus a spokesperson for Facebook on the disruptions to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Messenger.

Where the greatest disservices are concentrated

In Italy they have been reported, as regards Instagram, especially in Naples, Bologna and Milan. As for WhatsApp, however, the malfunction in particular seemed to focus on Rome, Milan and Naples.

What problems for WhatsApp and Instagram

No problem instead on Facebook, a site that always belongs to the galaxy of Mark Zuckerberg. Looking at what was reported on Twitter, the problems encountered by users on WhatsApp and Instagram were very similar to each other. There were those who just could not access the app, those who had a login problem and those who could not complete some tasks, such as uploading a photo. The most common problem for Insragram was the inability to update the feed. While on WhatsApp it was practically impossible to send and receive messages.

“Help” signs on Twitter

But considering that the difficulties – according to downdetector – extend from Europe to the United States, it is difficult to venture hypotheses on server damage or possible hacker attacks. What we can tell is that for now the same problems have not occurred on Facebook. Certainly, the affair has exploded on Twitter, where the top four currently trending hashtags are as follows: #WhatsAppDown, #instagramdown, #Zuckerberg, and #Telegram. A ranking that speaks volumes.
