Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp all crashed Monday morning. Users across all three flocked to other social media platforms like Twitter to see what might have caused the outage.
All three apps also stopped working without warning.
It’s unclear what caused the outage, but there was plenty of reaction on social media to the temporary issue. Especially on Twitter.
“We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience,” a Facebook company spokesperson told ABC News.
