There were panic stations across the world this morning as Facebook, Instagram and Tinder were all down for about 40 minutes.
Although most people in Ireland were tucked up in their beds during the time, a large number of social media users nearly had a meltdown.
Thankfully for them, Twitter was not affected, and they took to the site to have a giggle about it all.
Facebook, Instagram, and Tinder are all down, so save your battery and just awkwardly stare at your palm to avoid talking to loved ones.

Yes, FB & Insta are down. No, it’s not a police matter. Yes, we’re enjoying the break from baby & food pictures. No, we can’t arrest anyone.
