Good morning,

Social media lovers have a reason to smile on Tuesday morning after services were restored for some Facebook and Instagram users.

This was after a historic and largest global outage that disabled the social media platforms, owned by Facebook Inc, for nearly six hours.

Twitter, a rival social media platform,  had a field day yesterday as Facebook confirmed its apps were coming back online and apologised to users for the outage that affected millions of people across the world on their platform.

“We are 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, ” the company confirmed the outage on its WhatsApp Twitter Account.

According to an outage tracking website, Downdetector.com, 10.6 million reports of problems were received ranging from the United States and Europe to Colombia and Singapore, with trouble first popping up around 15:45 GMT.

The outage came as Facebook is facing mounting pressure in the US after a leaked internal investigation showed the social media giant was aware of how its Instagram app harmed the mental health of teenagers.
