‘Instagram not working, can’t refresh feed, followers list not loading, tagged photos not loading, etc. Tried restarting phone, deleting and re-downloaded app, still not working. Anyone else?!’ one desperate user wrote on the Downdetector forum. The Facebook and Facebook Messenger apps started experiencing issues at around the same time, according to Downdetector – although the problems seem to be less widespread. Facebook users are complaining they are unable to login, and that they can’t upload pictures, with a few reporting a ‘total blackout’. ‘Couldn’t go live, post pictures or anything kept saying check network.. tried log out and back in and can’t log in keeps saying error,’ one user wrote on the Downdetector forum.
