Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp seem to be coming back online after suffering global outages for nearly an hour on Friday evening.


The three platforms — owned by Mark Zuckerberg — stopped functioning abruptly, leaving millions of users worried.

 

According to downdetector.com, which tracks service outages, 90 percent of Whatsapp users could not connect to the app while some Instagram users also reported that they were unable to log into the platform.

 

Many users also took to Twitter to complain that they saw error alerts when they opened the apps and were unable to send or receive messages.


The platforms showed a  “5xx Server Error” 

 

WaBetaInfo, an independent portal that normally gives updates on WhatsApp, also confirmed that the messaging app experienced outages.
