Social media site Facebook crashed worldwide this evening, but was back within a short while.
The site said: “Sorry, something went wrong. We’re working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.”
On Twitter the hastag #facebookdown was trending, with users saying it appeared to be down from between 20 and 40 minutes.
The outage was reported in several countries, including New Zealand, Thailand, China, Singapore and India.
Facebook took some time to respond to its users.
“Earlier this morning, we experienced an issue that prevented people from posting to Facebook for a brief period of time. We resolved the issue quickly, and we are now back to 100%. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused,” said a Facebook spokesperson in a statement sent to UK newspaper, The Guardian.
