Facebook Inc. said it was working to restore regular service to
several of its platforms after widespread user complaints that
Facebook, Messenger and Instagram were all experiencing sporadic
outages.
"We're aware that some people are currently having trouble
accessing Facebook's family of apps. We're working to get things
back to normal as quickly as possible," a Facebook company
spokesman said. He said it wasn't yet clear how widespread the
outages were, though many users were still enjoying unfettered
access to the site, its app and other services like Messenger.
The Thanksgiving disruptions follow a series of big outages
earlier this year. In March, a glitch triggered what Facebook said
at the time was its longest-ever outage due to a server
configuration error. That outage coincided with shorter disruptions
the same day at Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc.'s Google.
In July, Facebook suffered through a daylong outage at Facebook,
Messenger and Instagram.
