Facebook Inc. said it had restored service to users of its
Facebook, Messenger and Instagram platforms, after an hourslong
outage that disrupted many users' ability to access them on
Thanksgiving Day.
"The issue has been resolved," according to a Facebook
spokesman.
In a statement just after midday, the social-media giant blamed
the issue on a problem in its central software systems. Complaints
from users started surfacing midmorning Thursday on the East
Coast.
It wasn't clear how wide the outages were.
The Thanksgiving disruption follows a series of big outages
earlier this year. In March, a glitch triggered what Facebook said
at the time was its longest-ever outage due to a server
configuration error. That outage coincided with shorter disruptions
the same day at Apple Inc. and Alphabet Inc.'s Google.
In July, Facebook suffered through a daylong outage at Facebook,
Messenger and Instagram.
