A Facebook statement said: “We are aware of reports that some surfers are having difficulty accessing Facebook services. We are making every effort to restore order as quickly as possible.”
In June a global WhatsApp crash prevented users from seeing when their contacts were last logged in, and were unable to change their status in the privacy settings. So, within minutes, a record number of 4,000 reports were reported from users of the app malfunction. Faults were recorded on both Android and iPhone operating systems. Faults have been reported by users from all over the world, from India to the UK. Unlike the current glitch, most users have been able to send and receive messages despite the glitch.
