Incase you are one of the rare few who managed to stay offline social media sites today, then you probably know that both Facebook and Instagram were down for users across the globe.
Independent website Down Detector showed that users from Ireland, UK, Europe and parts of USA were all having issues logging in and scrolling the sites.
So what did they do? They took to rival site Twitter, armed with some seriously gas observations about the Facebook & Insta fiasco…
Facebook and Instagram are both down. How am I supposed to look at Julie from work’s second cousin’s holiday photos from Corfu ’08 now?

Instagram & Facebook are down. You can:
1. Panic
2. Wait it out
3. Controversial suggestion. Go out & get some fresh air#instagramdown— Asjad Nazir (@asjadnazir) August 26, 2017
