Sorry something Went Wrong Facebook

Facebook went offline for several users on Thursday, with the world's most preferred social network telling customers that "something went wrong".

When seeing Facebook.com, as opposed to seeing the normal homescreen or news feed, users were greeted with an empty display as well as a brief mistake message.

" Sorry, something failed. We're working on it and also we'll get it taken care of as quickly as we can," the message reads.

The blackout began at around 5.30 pm BST however, for many individuals, showed up to have been solved around 20 minutes after.

Down Detector, which collates records of preferred services being down, showed failures in the UK, Europe as well as the United States.

Obviously, people required to Twitter to have their say.

The website went down on Thursday afternoon as well as brief-ly appeared to function once again for some individuals.

A spokesperson for Facebook has actually claimed they are exploring what occurred.

Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook president, went to an event put on by Oculus, the virtual reality headset business Facebook owns.
