Facebook has said it is working on restoring its services. The error message on the webpage of Facebook Inc suggested a problem with Domain Name System (DNS). DNS allows web addresses to take users to their destinations.
Facebook announced on Twitter that they have acknowledged users are having trouble login in but failed to point the problem at hand.
“We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience,” Facebook said.
We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
