It comes as Facebook and Instagram experienced a separate outage a little over a week ago on November 20. 

A live outage map showed hotspots in the northeastern region of the U.S., as well as many parts of Europe. 

Parts of South America, the Philippines and Indonesia were also hit.    

According to Down Detector, approximately 54 percent of users said they had trouble accessing their Instagram feed, while another 25 percent they were unable to login at all.

Some users who tried to login to Instagram appeared to have been served an error message saying they were logged out of their account. 

Approximately 20 percent of Instagram users said they also couldn't access the desktop website. 

According to Down Detector, the outage appears to have started before noon. Users reported having issues logging into the service, accessing their feed and viewing the desktop website

On Facebook, approximately 46 percent of users said they were experiencing a 'total blackout' on the website and the app. 

Another 34 percent of Facebook users said they couldn't log in, while 18 percent said they couldn't access the Facebook app. 

It's unclear how many users have been affected by the outages on Instagram and Facbeook. 

However, a Down Detector chart showed there were 923 Instagram user reports submitted to the site by noon (ET).

Approximately 1,511 user reports had been submitted about Facebook by 11:45am (ET).   

'I am unable to log-in, reset my password and I can't use the Desktop app either,' one user wrote on Down Detector about the Instagram outage.  

Users appeared to be having similar issues on both the Facebook app and website.

'I can't log in at all, I can't even recover my account, and when I try to make another account it says that an error occurred and try again, it keeps happening,' a user wrote on Down Detector. 'What is going on!?'

Another user wrote on Down Detector: 'I just updated my Facebook app and I can not log into it. I had to reenter my password. Odd!' 

Disgruntled Facebook and Instagram users took to Twitter in droves to complain about the outage.

One user on Twitter posted a screenshot of an error message they received after trying to login to Facebook. 

The message read: 'An unexpected error occurred. Please try logging in again.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
