Last year in October, major social platforms owned by Facebook- Instagram, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp and Oculus VR- faced a worldwide outage. The outage lasted for nearly six hours and turned out to be one of the longest outages in the history of the firm. Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Facebook, released a statement on the platform and apologized for the outage.

He wrote, "Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger are coming back online now. Sorry for the disruption today -- I know how much you rely on our services to stay connected with the people you care about."
