Sorry something Went Wrong Facebook

Facebook went offline for lots of users on Thursday, with the globe's most preferred social media network informing users that "something failed".

When visiting Facebook.com, as opposed to seeing the typical homescreen or information feed, customers were welcomed with an empty screen and a short error message.

" Sorry, something failed. We're working with it as well as we'll get it dealt with as quickly as we can," the message reviews.

The interruption began at around 5.30 pm BST however, for the majority of users, showed up to have actually been resolved around 20 minutes after.

Down Detector, which collects reports of preferred services being down, displayed blackouts in the UK, Europe as well as the United States.

Of course, people took to Twitter to have their say.

The web site decreased on Thursday afternoon as well as brief-ly appeared to function once again for some customers.

A spokesman for Facebook has stated they are checking into what happened.

At The Same Time, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook chief executive, went to an event placed on by Oculus, the virtual reality headset business Facebook has.
