Facebook and Instagram went down across the UK on Friday night with thousands of users logging issues accessing the social media sites.

According to DownDetector, both Facebook and Instagram saw a huge spike in reported problems, with tens of thousands of reports between them.

There were also reports with Whatsapp as it, too, was affected by the outage. 

Some users reported on Twitter that they only received system error messages when they tried to access their accounts, or navigate around the sites.

Others said the sites simply did not load, instead just timing out. Most turned to Twitter to complain about the issues as it is not owned by Meta and seems unaffected.

Problems began to appear at around 8pm, with a peak number of problems logged with site tracker Down Detector from 8.30pm. 

At 8.50pm on Friday, almost 15,000 people had logged a problem with Instagram.

Meanwhile for Facebook, more than 27,000 people had logged a problem by 8.30pm.

Although the majority of issues are being logged with the social media apps, there are some problems related to websites too. 

Error logs began to decline at around 9.15pm as some of the issues seemed to be resolved.
