People are being forced offline as the app giant’s are facing problems

People started logging problems on Facebook and Instagram just after 10pm this evening.

Over 60,000 users have said that they are experiencing problems with Facebook, while 38,000 have issues on Instagram, according to DownDetector.

And it’s currently unclear when service on the social media sites will be fully restored.

With both apps not working properly, people have taken to Twitter to check if other users are experiencing the same technical issues.

Just over a week ago, Instagram stopped working for users around the world in a mysterious mass-outage.

The majority of complaints were related to the News Feed not loading.

But a large number of users were also warning of log-in issues.
