Description:

and WhatsApp, with the number of complaints continuing to climb.

actual content is missing. Now, I'm in New Jersey experiencing this, but my TechRadar colleagues in the UK are seeing a similar situation, with some
posts appearing and then the feed appearing blank.

Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram are at the top of the list, with the first currently leading with over 120,000 reports.
