Facebook apologizes as services including Instagram hit again
The company said that a “configuration change” had impacted users globally.
It added that the incident was not related to the outage that saw its products
taken offline for over six hours earlier this week.

Its Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Workplace products had been affected,
it said.

“We’re so sorry if you weren’t able to access our products during the last couple of hours,” the company said in a statement on Friday evening.

"We know how much you depend on us to communicate with one another.

We fixed the issue -
Thanks again for your patience this week."

Earlier, web monitoring group Downdetector said that for a relatively short period of time on Friday there was an avalanche of messages from users reporting
problems with Instagram.

Some of them immediately took to Twitter and other social media platforms to
complain about the second Instagram disruption and share memes on the issue.
On Monday, Facebook - which owns WhatsApp and Instagram - blamed an
internal technical issue for the major outage which not only affected the firm’s
services, but also employees’ work passes and email.

We couldn´t do those exercises. They were very difficult.
I sent him an email but he never received it.
I saw Mary crying. She was devastated.

Yeah the name “anaphoric references” sounds like a tongue twister, but now it makes a lot more sense.
