Facebook said it was working to resolve the error as the hashtag #instagramdown began to climb up the trending list on Twitter.

On WhatsApp, some users noticed image and video files were not able to send, while others on Instagram claimed they could not see images on their feed.

A spokeswoman for Facebook, which owns all three apps, said."We're aware that some people are currently having trouble uploading images, videos and other files on our apps.

"We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible."

Together both Facebook and Instagram have over three billion monthly active users.
