FILE - This Feb. 19, 2014, file photo, shows WhatsApp and Facebook app icons on a smartphone in New York. Facebook and its Instagram and WhatsApp platforms were down in parts of the world on Monday, Oct. 4, 2021. The company said it was "aware that some people are having trouble accessing Facebook app" and it was working on restoring access.
The massive global outage that plunged Facebook, its Instagram and WhatsApp platforms and many people who rely heavily on these services - including Facebook's own workforce - into chaos Monday is gradually dissipating.
Facebook said late Monday that it's been working to restore access to its services and is "happy to report they are coming back online now." The company apologized and thanked its users for bearing with it. But fixing it wasn't as simple as flipping a proverbial switch. For some users, WhatsApp was working for a time, then not. For others, Instagram was working but not Facebook, and so on.
Facebook did not say what might have caused the outage, which began around 11:40 a.m. ET and was still not fixed more than six hours later.
