Facebook and Instagram suffer outage

Social media sites, including Facebook and Instagram, appeared to be down on Tuesday morning in Europe and the United States, with the outage affecting desktop and mobile sites.

Just after 6 a.m. GMT, attempts to access Facebook brought up an error message telling users that "something went wrong" and the problem would be fixed as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Instagram - a photo uploading site that is owned by Facebook - went to a blank page on a desktop computer with the mobile application failing to load any new data.

Chat app AIM and dating app Tinder were also hit by the outage.
