After a brief period of outage, the global social media giants Facebook and Instagram are back online, much to the relief of millions of users worldwide.
The unexpected shutdown of these platforms on Tuesday sent waves of frustration across social media, with users unable to access their accounts or refresh their profiles. Facebook prompted existing users to log back in, while Instagram displayed loading errors on user profiles and homepages.
This outage triggered a flurry of reactions on platforms like Twitter, where users voiced their confusion and concern. Some speculated about potential hacking incidents, while others simply expressed their frustration at being unexpectedly logged out of their accounts.
Fortunately, the disruption was short-lived, and both Facebook and Instagram are now back up and running smoothly. Users can regain access to their accounts by logging in with their credentials as usual.
