WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook Global Outage Noted

Global Outage – Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram, popular apps owned by parent company, Facebook, are experiencing outages in many regions including Jamaica.

The apps seem to not be working on either web or their respective smartphone apps.

A number of people have reported that the instant messaging platform and the social media applications are not working for them on android, IOS, and web platforms.

In a tweet shortly after 11 today, WhatsApp says it is aware some people are experiencing issues with the app. However, they are working to get things back to normal as soon as possible. 

Downdetector reports a quick spike in the number of cases of WhatsApp not working for people across regions earlier today. Users are unable to send or receive new messages. Similar behaviour is observable on Instagram, where users are unable to log in, refresh their feed or send direct messages (DMS).

The issue has seemingly affected people late in the evening, with outages starting at roughly 9:15 pm in some countries.
