UPDATE: 

Whatsapp, Instagram, and Facebook services are back online after nearly 6 hours of outage. An exact reason for the outage is yet to be revealed.

Original story as follows..

If you noticed that your last sent Whatsapp message is still not seen by anyone, or if your thinking that your Instagram or Facebook isn’t loading. Well, do not run towards your Wi-Fi or go over your ISP. Apparently, Facebook-owned Whatsapp, Instagram, and even Facebook itself have gone down.

The servers for these apps are down globally for hours leaving no space for social nesting. That said, netizens took Twitter by storm, as it was the only major social media app working. The entire Twitter trends across the world are nothing but hashtags and memes about Facebook, Whatsapp, and servers being down.

We’re aware that some people are experiencing issues with WhatsApp at the moment. We’re working to get things back to normal and will send an update here as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience!

Taking it into consideration, Facebook-owned Whatsapp finally gave a clarification by stating, “We’re aware that some people are experiencing issues with Whatsapp at the moment. We’re working to get things back to normal and will send an update here as soon as possible.”

Similarly, the company shared such tweets from all of its accounts considering the global server crash of these social media apps.

Notably, Instagram showed a 5xx server error message, while other apps aren’t simply loading. According to @wongmjane, Facebook’s internal sites are also affected by this outage. However, logins via game applications are still working.

As of now, there’s no clarification on what’s causing the problem. But, we expect Facebook to reveal the exact issue and make the app operational soon.
