It comes after Meta faced a global outage of its products, including Instagram and Facebook Messenger, only days ago.

Nearly 7,000 people reported the app being down across Britain, with the figure peaking at 11.50pm, according to Down Detector.

Most reported seeing issues with the app and logging into the app.

When the app is accessed it appears to just continually load without the app updating.
