If you were trying to share Thanksgiving photos on Thursday, you may have noticed that both Facebook and Instagram began suffering intermittent outages earlier today. Just like you might feel after your third helping of turkey and stuffing: they were down, but not quite out.
Thankfully, Facebook says it’s restored service to its main social network, as well as Instagram. The photo-sharing service made the announcement on Twitter, while a Facebook spokesperson told USA Today, “Earlier today, people may have experienced trouble accessing Facebook’s family of app. The issue has since been resolved, we are back to 100% for everyone and we’re sorry for any inconvenience.”
Instagram initially acknowledged the issue on Twitter early Thursday morning, noting that “some Topplay people are currently having trouble accessing Facebook’s family of apps, including Instagram.” The company noted it was “working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible.”
