If you’re experiencing Facebook and Instagram outages today (Nov. 28), you’re not alone.

According to the website Down Dectector, users throughout Canada and around the world are having trouble posting on both Facebook and Instagram. 

Some users, including those in Mississauga, have said they are receiving a message that reads: “Facebook Will Be Back Soon! Facebook is down for required maintenance right now, but you should be able to get back on within a few minutes. In the meantime, read more about why you’re seeing this message. Thanks for your patience as we improve the site.” 

Others have taken to Twitter to say that while they can log-in as usual, they are having trouble sending and receiving messages on Facebook Messenger and posting photos on Instagram. 

The outages have been reported worldwide. 

The UK-based Independent says users began reporting the outage around 9:00 am EST
