Facebook returns online after around 30 minute outage; Instagram glitching
"Facebook is down for required maintenance right now, but you should be able to get back on within a few minutes," Facebook had said earlier.
Facebook finally went back online after a blackout which lasted around 30 minutes.
Instagram was yet to go back online fully, with users being able to log in only to see a blank home page.
Some Facebook users, however, reported that they were facing slower loading times than usual after the social media network was restored a few minutes before 10:00pm.
