The social media giant is said to have blamed the outage on a “server configuration change”. It is however uncertain how long it would take for the company to resolve the issue.

Facebook acquired Instagram in 2012 for a reported $2 billion and WhatsApp in 2014 for $19 billion.

The company currently boasts more than 1.52 billion daily active users on Facebook alone.

#FacebookDown, #instagramdown and #whatsappdown are currently trending on Twitter globally, as users took to the micro-blogging platform to air their frustration.
