New Delhi: After temporarily going down for over half an hour, Facebook is now back up. Users can now log in to the social networking site and all services seem to have been restored. The Facebook app for Android, which earlier failed to load news feed, is also working fine now.
"Earlier this morning, we experienced an issue that prevented people from posting to Facebook for a brief period of time," a Facebook spokesperson told CNET. "We resolved the issue quickly, and we are now back to 100 per cent. We're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused."
Users were unable to log in to the social networking site between 1:15 pm and 2 pm IST, and instead were getting a message: "Sorry, something went wrong. We are working on getting this fixed as soon as we can."
The outage was reported in several countries, including China, Singapore and India.
In February this year, Facebook went down in the US for some time, while in October last year it faced a similar situation, with the website citing network maintenance as a reason. In August 2012, there was a similar outage.
In India, #facebookdown was one of the top trending topics on Twitter.
Facebook has over 1.2 billion users globally, of which over 100 million are from India, its second-largest user base.
