Facebook users around the world report widespread glitches
Facebook said Wednesday it is working to resolve issues faced by some users while sending media files on its social media platforms including WhatsApp and Instagram.
More than 14,000 users reported issues with Instagram, while more than 7,500 users reported issues with Facebook and 1,600 with WhatsApp, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com.
The website’s live outage map showed that the issues mainly cropped up in parts of Europe and the United States.
For some users, images on profiles and on Facebook’s news feed failed to load, showing a blank tile in its place.
Facebook had experienced one of its longest outages in March, when some users around the globe faced trouble accessing Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp for over 24 hours.
Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Shares of the social network were up 0.9 percent late Wednesday morning, at $196.79.
