On Monday, Facebook's apps, which include Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, experienced an outage for around six hours. In a blogpost late yesterday, Santosh Janardhan, Facebook's VP of infrastructure, informed users that"configuration changes" on the company's routers were to blame.
Brittany DiCapua, a 28-year-old Instagram food influencer and blogger, said that she realized the site was down around 11:30 a.m. on Monday morning. At first, she thought it was just her account, but after texting other influencers, she realized that it was a widespread issue."Some of us were joking that it was a 'day off' for us," DiCapua said."It kind of felt like a break to not live and breathe on social media.
