From time to time Instagram and Facebook have been experiencing instability and today both are down. Well, it wasn't quite a fall from Social Networks, it was a certain stability in Feed, it didn't load new images. The problem started happening around 15:00 and 10:00 this afternoon, I even noticed this error here after some reports.
A very cool curiosity is that Facebook is the owner of Instagram, whenever one goes down, the other also falls. However, there have been days when not only Instagram and Facebook were off the air, WhatsApp also entered this list. But, why do these bugs happen?

Reason Instagram and Facebook Stay Off Air Today
It is not yet known for sure the real reason that resulted in this bug today, but it all started in a strange way. Before the Feed failed to load, Instagram Beta changed its language to English out of nowhere and without any explanation whatsoever.
Shortly after the problem in Language, the two Social Networks began to have problems in a generalized way. Luckily, no crashes have been reported on WhatsApp so far, which would not be surprising since it also belongs to Facebook.
User Report
According to a tool that monitors online services, Downdetector, around 3:20 pm complaints poured into its tool. To give you an idea, about half an hour after the crash, there were about 67,000 complaints from Instagram users. Anyone who thought that only Instagram users came to complain is wrong, about 20,000 complaints about Facebook were also made.
Facebook has already positioned itself and talked about what happened, he said that the fact occurred because of a Network Configuration change. "Earlier today, some people may have had problems accessing our family of apps due to network configuration change. The issue is already resolved”, says the company.

What to do if Instagram or Facebook goes offline again?
Well, many people reported not knowing what to do at that moment when Instagram and Facebook were down. But the world has modernized a lot, there are numerous options for other social networks to access in case the fact happens again. O TikTok for example is one of them, it also has its own YouTube, doing Google searches, listening to music and etc..
Will social networks fail again?
If I tell you with conviction that you are going to fall again or that this will never happen again, however, I am being too rash. Social Media requires numerous updates and monitoring per day, there is always a chance that a failure will happen again there or here.
But luckily everything is back to normal and we hope it always stays that way. Anyway, if you liked this article, don't forget to share it with all your friends and on all your social networks.
