This comes after a major Facebook outage on Monday took the social network, as well as Instagram and WhatsApp, offline for more than five hours.
Billions of the platforms’ users had been left unable to get online on Monday by the fault, which the company said was “an outage caused not by malicious activity, but an error of our own making”.
It remains unclear what has caused this evening’s fault.
