Facebook took to rival social network Twitter to communicate with users about the outage.

While it has not yet provided a reason for the outage, Facebook said it was not caused by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack.

iTnews confirmed that attempting to connect to Facebook and Messenger throws up an error message currently, but Instagram and WhatsApp are working.

The outage appears to have started at 2 am AEST.

More to come.
