Facebook says there are problems with its services again, days after a major outage hit WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook for some six hours.<\/p>

\u201cWe\u2019re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products,\u201d the firm said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience.\u201d<\/p>

The current problems seem to be affecting the photo and video-sharing platform Instagram in particular.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The firm said\u00a0in a tweet: \u201cWe know some of you may be having some issues using Instagram right now. We\u2019re so sorry and are working as quickly as possible to fix.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On Monday, Facebook \u2013 which owns WhatsApp and Instagram \u2013 blamed an internal technical issue for the major outage which not only affected the firm\u2019s services, but also employees\u2019 work passes and email.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The services were down from about 16:00 GMT until around 22:00 on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
