Facebook blamed a "server configuration change" Thursday for the platform's longest-ever outage, which also affected Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp users worldwide.
"Yesterday, as a result of a server configuration change, many people had trouble accessing our apps and services," the company said in a tweet. "We've now resolved the issues and our systems are recovering. We're very sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate everyone's patience."
