Facebook, Instagram and Messenger down for many Irish people today

Many Irish social media users are experiencing problems with Facebook, Instagram and Messenger this morning.

Down Detector is showing that all three have seen a surge in issues since 9am.

While the reason for the issues remains unclear, of those who reported problems, 80% said they weren't receiving messages, while 20% couldn't log-in.

The Mirror has contacted Facebook for comment.

Unsurprisingly, several frustrated users have taken to  Twitter  to question what's going on.

One user wrote: "Is Facebook Messenger down? I cannot send and receive messages!"

Another said: "Either Facebook messenger is down on my phone or my wifi is extremely poor this morn. Let me text my friends back!"

And one added: "Yeah so Facebook messenger be down or I’m really trippin."

Worryingly, DownDetector has also issues alerts for Facebook and  Instagram  - two other Facebook-owned apps.
