Can't use Messenger right now? It's not just you.

Users reported issues using Facebook and Instagram on Thursday morning, particularly regarding the messaging services of each platform.

Reports began around 9:30 a.m. GMT for users primarily in Europe both also in other parts of the globe, according to Down Detector (owned by Mashable's parent company, J2 Global). Instagram saw reports of issues with the news feed and direct messaging, while Facebook Messenger users reported being unable to send messages.
