The social media giant Facebook said the issues that blocked access to its apps and services for nearly two hours on Friday have been fixed.
On Friday, some users were unable to load their Instagram feeds, while others were not able to send messages on Facebook Messenger.
“We are so sorry if you weren’t able to access our products during the last couple of hours. We know how much you depend on us to communicate with one another. We fixed the issue — thanks again for your patience this week,” the firm said in a tweet.
The outage is Facebook’s second technical difficulty this week.
