FACEBOOK, Messenger AND Instagram have stopped working for some users.

Messaging systems on the trio of Facebook-owned apps mysteriously went down on Thursday morning.

Thousands of users are complaining about the outage – what's happened?

Online outage tracker Down Detector logged thousands of complaints from just after 10am UK time.

And Facebook has confirmed that some users are experiencing issues.

Most of the issues seem to relate to messaging specifically – on Messenger in particular.

But some users are also moaning that Facebook proper and Instagram have stopped working too.
