Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp down for users across the globe
July 3 (AZINS) Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram users are currently facing some glitches with users taking to Twitter to complain. Reports and tweets indicate that the outage is global with users in Europe, USA and Africa facing problem in downloading media. 

In India, users complained that they were unable to download audio and images from received on WhatsApp. Instagram users were also unable to upload or send photos and videos on the photo-sharing platform. 

Reports indicated that the problem seems with Facebook servers which power all three of the company's services.

Facebook posted a message on its Twitter account saying it was working to resolve the issues. "We’re aware that some people are having trouble uploading or sending images, videos and other files on our apps. We're sorry for the trouble and are working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible," it said. 

Instagram also acknowledged the problem in a tweet saying that it was aware of the problem and was working to resolve it. 

"We’re aware that some people are having trouble uploading or sending images and videos on Instagram. We're sorry for the trouble and are working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible," it said. 

When trying to download pictures on WhatsApp, a notification saying, "Can't download. Please ask that it be resent to you," pops up on the screen. While downloading media continues to be an issue, sending of files is still active.

Soon after the users started facing issues on the Apps, many social media users flooded twitter complaining about the same.

Earlier in June, something similar was experienced by Instagram users. Some users reported that they were not able to access Instagram at all, some reported that the platform was not loading feeds, while others could not make any searches. At times, Instagram's website simply displayed a "5xx server error" message.

The app came back online after going down for over an hour early Friday morning.
