UPDATE: Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp appear to be coming back online

It seems Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp are slowly coming back online after an hours-long outage.

What exactly caused the social networking platforms to go down on Monday morning is still unknown.

Just before noon EDT, a popular outage website showed issues with all three services.

Users worldwide have been affected by the outages, including in Canada, the US, Europe, India, and Brazil.

With Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp down, social media users flocked to Twitter to air their grievances.
