<p>If you&#8217;ve been trying to view your Facebook or Instagram feed, you&#8217;ve been out of luck most of the day.</p>
<p>One of the world&#8217;s largest Internet services has been down for over three hours. Facebook, which also owns Instagram and Whatsapp, has seen its websites and apps go down since around 8:37 am Pacific time likely due to a domain name server (DNS) issue.</p>
<p>Nearly half of the world&#8217;s population uses either Facebook, Instagram or Whatsapp each day. The company reported 2.76 billion users in June that used its services each day with 1.91 billion users on Facebook alone.</p>
<p>Ironically, Facebook posted the following message on its official Twitter page, which was not having access issues today.</p>
<p><em>&#8220;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.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Facebook stock is down over 5% on the day on the news with many other tech stocks also in the red for the day.</p>
<p>The outage comes just a day after a former Facebook project manager appeared on CBS&#8217; 60 Minutes and said she was the whistleblower that leaked internal company documents to the media.</p>
