What is Wrong with My Facebook Account

Facebook went offline for lots of customers on Thursday, with the world's most preferred social network informing individuals that "something went wrong".

When visiting Facebook.com, as opposed to seeing the normal homescreen or news feed, users were greeted with a blank display and a brief error message.

" Sorry, something failed. We're dealing with it as well as we'll get it taken care of as quickly as we can," the message reviews.

The blackout started at around 5.30 pm BST but, for a lot of individuals, showed up to have been solved around 20 mins after.

Down Detector, which looks at records of popular services being down, showed failures in the UK, Europe as well as the US.

Naturally, people took to Twitter to have their say.

The web site went down on Thursday afternoon and also brief-ly showed up to function once again for some users.

A spokesperson for Facebook has claimed they are looking into what took place.

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