The reason for the outages on the three apps is unknown, but everybody has their speculations.

Others also believe the outage is from some servers (which we all think).
During the outage, shares on Facebook have gone down by 5.3%, making Marck Zckerbeg lose over $2 million. Users were not directed to the correct Domain Name System.
If you don’t know what DNS is, DNS stands for Domain Name System, and DNS allows web users to visit the address they want to see.

A security expert made it known that a configuration error inside Facebook servers may cause outages.
