Facebook and Instagram has gone down for thousands as they complained of being unable to access the social media sites this afternoon.

People said they were experiencing problems logging onto Facebook, sending messages or ‘liking’ posts and pictures. 

Others reported a ‘total blackout’ meaning the site wouldn’t load or they were unable to log in to their accounts.
