Some people couldn't cope with a few hours off social media
In case you missed it, Facebook and its family of apps were down for a few hours last night.
Facebook, Messenger, WatsApp, and Instagram use ground to an online halt last night, as all four apps and websites were completely shut down for between eight to fourteen hours in some parts of the world.
Awkwardly enough for Facebook, the website had to turn to its rival Twitter to share the outage news with users.
We’re aware that some people are currently having trouble accessing the Facebook family of apps. We’re working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.

Here's some of the best reaction, and memes, that we've spotted since the outage took place.
Some people were not one bit happy.
And it only took you twelve hours. Congrats. pic.twitter.com/voY6lNaLdH

Some might have had a sudden realisation.
We didn't freak out... that much.

How did you cope with the social media outage last night? Or, did you even notice?
