According to downdetector, the problem began yesterday as early as 6:30am Sunday morning in New York. The website showed other affected areas in America, Europe and Asia, while a few places in Africa and South America had a little obstructing in service that might have been barely noticed by users.


The map from downdetector showed that some places were more affected than others. Countries like Mexico, Portugal, Malaysia, the UK, Philippines, etc. suffered the most from the outage. Users of the social platforms didn't waste time in turning to Twitter to pour out their frustrations and anger.

As at yesterday, Facebook restored all the services back online and apologised to her users for the downtime.

"Earlier today, some people may have experienced trouble connecting to the family of apps. The issues has been resolved; we're sorry for any convenience," a Facebook spokesperson said.
