Facebook was recently down, together with Instagram and WhatsApp. Because of this, many users were forced to rely on other platforms to communicate with their friends, loved ones, colleagues, and relatives.
Now, Facebook users tend to rely on Telegram whenever there is a massive outage. This is not surprising since the popular messaging app has been offering some features that WhatsApp is still unable to provide.
However, it will still take a lot of time until these new consumers decide to use Telegram in the long run. Aside from Telegram, users also tend to migrate to Twitter when there is a Facebook outage. Many of them are posting memes there to make fun of FB's system issue.
Other Effects of Facebook Outage
Entrepreneur reported that Facebook lost around $7 billion in revenue after the massive outage. The company's net worth has decreased to $121.6 billion because of the massive issue.
This is around a 5% decrease in profit, adding to its total revenue loss of 15% since September. Aside from the recent outage, Facebook is also facing a lawsuit against its sister website Instagram.
Right now, Mark Zuckerberg's company is facing continuous trials for the past few days.
