(CNN Business)Just days after several of its major services went down for about six hours, Facebook is suffering another outage.

"We're aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products," the company said on its verified Twitter account on Friday. "We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience."

Instagram, the Facebook-owned photo sharing service, also announced on Twitter that some of its users were facing issues.

No apps are down for me, but I keep getting two and three day old posts as the “latest” posts in my feed.

It’s kinda funny, in a weird way.

Same here and also my message inbox....says I had messages and when I accessed it, it was totally blank. It took me a few hours before I was able to access the messages I did have.

With my background in the telecommunications industry, I feel compelled to point out that after a major outage there have always been situations where individuals in a knee jerk reaction changed their own settings that caused their connections not to work after the actual outage event was corrected.

That's is easy to do and forget what the correct settings were or not even remember settings were changed.   Help desks agents love these phone calls, said no one ever.

“We’re aware that some people are having trouble accessing our apps and products,” the company said

We call those people “the lucky ones”

Must be too many users are continuing to post truthful items on the injections, electoral fraud, government failure, etc.
