New Delhi: Social media giant Facebook and its other properties including Instagram, and instant messaging app WhatsApp resumed after facing outages since morning today. Social media applications of Facebook experienced issues Sunday morning for several users worldwide. Facebook and Instagram were both inaccessible, with news feeds refusing to refresh and the main Facebook.com domain unavailable. Several users were not able to send or receive WhatsApp messages and users of Facebook’s main services have headed to Twitter to share that they’re having issues. The outages appear to have started at around 6:30 AM ET this morning and come just a month after Facebook experienced its worst outage ever. Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram were all inaccessible for hours last month, and it wasn’t until over 24 hours later that Facebook finally gave the all clear. Facebook blamed a “server configuration change,” and apologized for the outages. An outage tracking website showed that there are more than 9000 incidents of people reporting issues with Facebook. The social media platform had experienced one of its longest outages in March when some users around the globe faced trouble accessing Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp for over 24 hours. The company has not yet commented on the problem. Social media users were left frustrated since Sunday morning as WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook were reportedly down worldwide. While the news feeds on Facebook refuse to refresh, posting anything is impossible. Even the picture sharing app Instagram refuses to refresh the feed, while WhatsApp messages have not been coming through, several users have complained on Twitter.
