Is something Wrong with Facebook Right now

Facebook went offline for many customers on Thursday, with the globe's most preferred social network telling users that "something went wrong".

When visiting Facebook.com, as opposed to seeing the typical homescreen or information feed, users were welcomed with an empty display and a brief mistake message.

" Sorry, something went wrong. We're servicing it and we'll get it fixed as soon as we can," the message reviews.

The outage began at around 5.30 pm BST however, for most customers, appeared to have been dealt with around 20 mins after.

Down Detector, which looks at reports of preferred services being down, showed failures in the UK, Europe and the US.

Naturally, people required to Twitter to have their say.

The internet site dropped on Thursday mid-day and brief-ly showed up to function again for some users.

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

On The Other Hand, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook chief executive, was at an occasion put on by Oculus, the virtual reality headset firm Facebook owns.
