The world was thrown into darkness after Facebook went down on Saturday night (Indian Standard Time) with users unable to access the site.
Users got a message that the website was undergoing maintenance. Down Detector reported a large spike in users being unable to access Facebook after 7:30 PM IST. Users were unable to comment or even use Facebook messenger.
According to UK site Express, one Facebook user posted a message online saying they'd been faced with a message that reads: "Facebook Will Be Back Soon.Thanks for your patience as we improve the site."
Here’s how Twitter reacted to Facebook being down:
Facebook and Instagram are down.
