Users have reported crashes in the Facebook app around the world.
There have been frequent crashes in Facebook or any of the company’s recent applications, whether WhatsApp or Instagram. The last of these failures was what the company admitted last Friday that some users had encountered problems accessing its applications and services.
Last Friday, some users were unable to upload their Instagram accounts, while others failed to send messages via Facebook Messenger.
“We are aware that some users are experiencing problems accessing some of our apps and services. We are working to get things back to normal as soon as possible and apologize for any inconvenience,” Facebook said in a tweet.
Users rushed to Twitter, shared and posted jokes about Instagram crashing for the second time in a week. Later, Instagram confirmed that the problems in the app were fixed and things were back to normal.
The failure of some users to download the photo-sharing application of Facebook “Instagram”, Friday, days after the social media giant suffered from a 6-hour outage in service due to an error during a routine maintenance process for information center networks.
Data from Down-Detector, which monitors the internet, showed that more than 36,000 problems were reported by Instagram users on Friday.
More than 800 issues have also been reported on Messenger, Facebook’s messaging platform.

On the night of Monday, October 4, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp were back online after an interruption of nearly 6 hours, preventing the company’s 3.5 billion users from accessing its social networking and messaging services.
A statement from Facebook stated that “an internal technical glitch disrupted the platform’s operation,” and that “there is no evidence that user data was compromised due to a technical failure.”
