WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram down: what were the causes?

Just days ago, from the early morning hours, all of Mark Zuckerberg's social networks such as WhatsApp, Instagram and even Facebook saw their most significant characteristics as an significant block. A really significant blackout that disabled the three most significant social networks of the time, but most of all used them. No user has been able to post pictures, view them on Facebook, or shoot Instagram stories. The reason? Here's the official reply from Facebook.

What's occurred to WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram KO?
Users began reporting major issues to the most widely used social networks and we're talking about Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. In the particular case, thousands of reports have arrived because users can not upload or even download pictures on WhatsApp chats.

Same for Instagram where there was no capacity for users to record, upload, or even share stories on the portal. Not only because it was also difficult to show other friends ' stories, as was the flow of one's follow-up. Finally, even Facebook had severe issues with pictures: it could not be observed here, and the posts that the social media permitted to publish resulted in phrases alone and exclusively.

The technical reason was not obviously disclosed by Palo Alto's developers, but in reality a message from Facebook came up with an apology for the inconvenience stating: "We discovered a issue during one of our routine maintenance activities that makes it hard for some individuals to upload or post pictures and videos. No terrorist attacks or malicious hackers-as was immediately announced-but only a problem when solving other problems or updating certain situations. Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are now social networks that have somehow focused on the pictures and have obviously blocked the scenario.

As is always the case in these cases, Twitter has definitely benefited and people who usually do not use the social network of tweets have moved there for a couple of hours posting their thoughts in words and not so much with images. It often occurs when the other social networks are down and finding the Palo Alto platforms totally unusable occurred even a short time ago.
