While Facebook, Instagram, and Whatsapp appear to be back online, this is the second time in a month that the popular social media and messaging services have been down.

Outages on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp tend to be stopping many users from accessing the sites.

“Sorry, something went wrong,” read one of the most popular Facebook error messages. “We’re trying to resolve this as quickly as possible.”

Although, Facebook has yet to comment on the problems, let alone the cause of the outage.

However, similar problems have occurred in the past, with all of these sites experiencing outages at the same time.

The problem seems to have been resolved for the time being, but it is still unclear how severe the disruption was or what caused it in the first place.
