Instagram and WhatsApp are now back online after a mass global outage affected several Meta-owned apps on Wednesday.

Facebook has yet to confirm whether all its issues have been resolved.

Meta on Thursday confirmed that a technical issue is "impacting some users' ability" globally to access its suite of applications: WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook.

While Meta did not provide specific details about the nature of the problem, the company assured users that it is actively working on a resolution.In a statement shared on its social media handle, 'X', the company stated, "We're aware that a technical issue is impacting some users' ability to access our apps. We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and apologise for any inconvenience."

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
