Social media companies Facebook, Instagram and Whatsapp seem to be up and running again after crashing today.
According to Down Detector, reports 24,205 reports came in at 4.39pm suggesting this is the time it went down this evening.
The apps seem to have started running again at around 10:54.
Users are still reporting some issues with service across all three apps.
The apps have come online after six hours which is the longest technical failing in the company's history.
Earlier Facebook's chief technology officer Mike Schroepfer offered an apology for the outage.
He did not give an indication of why the outage began or how long it might take to fix, so hopefully tomorrow we will have more answers.
*Sincere* apologies to everyone impacted by outages of Facebook powered services right now. We are experiencing networking issues and teams are working as fast as possible to debug and restore as fast as possible
