Users of Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram are unable to upload or download media from these social media hubs, which has prevented them from loading images or videos from Whatsapp, stories from Instagram, or even load photos from the Facebook’s news feed.
In India, though these social media networks are accessible, downloading content, be it images or video, has stopped working. The problem seems to be taking place worldwide, as users from the US, Europe, and Africa have tweeted on the issue.
Tried sending a picture on WhatsApp, didn't work.Then went onto Facebook messenger, also didn't work.
Finally Instagram DM, again didn't work.
