Did you have issues logging into Instagram and Facebook on Wednesday night?

You weren’t the only one.

Two of the world’s most popular social media networks went down across the world last night. Facebook and Instagram (both owned by Facebook) experienced site crashes and judging from the sheer volume of tweets, Dubai residents were SHOOK without the ‘gram.

Instagram used Twitter to communicate with their users

We’re aware of an issue impacting people’s access to Instagram right now. We know this is frustrating, and our team is hard at work to resolve this ASAP.

If you didn’t post it, did it even happen tho?

#Instagram was down in #Dubai, so could you please let everyone know I had avocado on a slate while wearing yoga pants at sunrise, as I held a bottle of skin cream they paid me to hold and I also had my head at a cloyingly annoying 45º angle. Thanks. pic.twitter.com/FT6QCvrwJh
