Facebook has blamed a ‘faulty configuration change’ for an outage that prevented the company’s 3.5 billion users from accessing its apps and services, including Whatsapp and Instagram, for nearly six hours.

In a Facebook post after the service had been restored, chief executive Mark Zuckerberg wrote: ‘Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger are coming back online now.’
