Some Facebook, Instagram users are having trouble accessing the apps – CNET [CNET]

Some Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp users reported Friday that the apps weren’t working for them, days after the social media giant experienced a massive outage. 

“We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience,” Facebook confirmed in a tweet.

Facebook didn’t say how widespread the issues are, but some users reported on Downdetector that they were experiencing problems using apps owned by the social network after 11:30 a.m. PT. Instagram users flocked to Twitter to complain about experiencing a second outage this week. In the United States, #instadown and #instagramdownagain were trending.

On Monday, Facebook experienced a six-hour outage that the company attributed to a mistake that happened during a routine maintenance job.
