The most common issues reported were difficulties logging in, posting and refreshing the newsfeed or seeing a total blackout when people loaded the site. 

The difficulties were due to a network configuration change, a Facebook spokesperson said in a statement, adding that the issue has been resolved.

Tangent

There have been issues simultaneously on Facebook, Instagram and What’s App, which is also owned by Facebook, in the past. When there were outages on all three sites at the same time last May, Facebook apologized and said it was due to a “server configuration change.”
