Facebook experienced ‘brief outage’ AGAIN, frustrated users claim
FACEBOOK appears to have experienced a brief outage for some users.
Problems were said to start in the UK around 9am but it’s currently unclear if there was a problem with the website or the devices that people were using to access it.
Downdetector tweeted from its UK account: “User reports indicate Facebook is having problems since 9:24 AM BST.”
It says that most of the problems reported are to do with the website.
So far, hundreds of people have reported issues but they seem to be tailing off.
A few have taken to other forms of social media to express concern.
