Facebook and its partner programme Instagram are reported to “crash worldwide”.

Customers have complained and tweeted that they can’t log in or load their News Feeds on their phone apps.

Millions of users have been affected, according to the Mirror, with one website saying the issue is affecting South America and across Europe.

The issue is complicated as not all users are affected by the crash, however, it’s clear both sites are facing issues.

Facebook said in a statement: “Earlier today, a technical issue caused some people to have trouble connecting to Facebook and Instagram.

“We resolved this issue for everyone, and we apologise for any inconvenience.”
