Instagram and Facebook reported downtime on 20th November where some users were totally in a blackout, while others experienced partial blackout such as not able to post content or send messages.
According to Downdetector which measures the kind of issues users are suffering from, 47% are experiencing a total blackout, 38% can’t log in and 13% are having trouble uploading pictures.
