A global Facebook outage greeted its users this morning with a “down for maintenance” or a server error when they attempted to access the popular website.
Users of Facebook’s online photo-sharing service, Instagram, also suffered the same fate.
No official explanation has been issued.
Shortly after 7am, service could be seen being restored.
Many took to another popular social media service, Twitter, to have a little fun in the mean time.
