Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, faced nine hours of glitch, yesterday. Facebook informed the users through a tweet (read the irony), that all the apps are now working fine and WhatsApp and Instagram are up for use.
Earlier today, some people and businesses experienced trouble uploading or sending images, videos and other files on our apps and platforms. The issue has since been resolved and we should be back at 100% for everyone. We're sorry for any inconvenience.

Soon Twitter got flooded with the tweets of outraged users, including B-Town Celeb Shruti Haasan, claiming Twitter to be the King of Social Media.
‘WhatsApp Instagram and Facebook are down – a strange sense of panic and relief what if they just went away?? That would suck big time and kind of not suck at all!’, Shruti wrote.

Earlier in April 2019, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp were down globally. Facebook has blamed the server configuration change for the glitch. However, there is no official statement made by them explaining the issue that occurred.
