London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/27/2021 -- Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp all recently suffered an unprecedented outage that left many users not only feeling rather bereft but also without access to what they consider to be essential services. The problems arose from an error during routine maintenance of the social media giant's data centres, which triggered a six-hour outage across all its platforms and a very public global meltdown. Many users weren't able to load Instagram feeds or use the platform to send messages and WhatsApp could not connect for others. Facebook was also inaccessible, including Messenger. Unfortunately, this wasn't the last time that this happened as there have continued to be rolling issues ever since for some users, which the social media giant is still apologising for. Ironically, many people took to Twitter to share their experiences with the other, downed, platforms, leading to the general theme that Twitter had won the day. These problems are some of the largest ever seen for the social media giant and have made many people nervous.
