In the aftermath of a global outage that has taken over several apps and websites, Snapchat is reportedly down in Pakistan, alongside other platforms.
Like Snapchat, which apps are down in Pakistan?
Other notable apps hit by the purportedly global internet outage include Roblox, Fortnite, Duolingo, Canva, Zoom, Facebook, Prime Video and Amazon’s cloud computing unit Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Some of the world’s biggest platforms began experiencing issues at around 8:00am UK time (midnight Pacific Time), after an issue disrupted Amazon Web Services (AWS), according to The Independent.
Online outage tracker Downdetector showed outages affecting apps and websites such as Snapchat, Roblox, Fortnite, Duolingo, Canva, Zoom, Facebook, Prime Video, and Amazon’s own cloud unit, AWS.
The Snapchat-related outage was verified by AWS, stating, “We can confirm increased error rates and latencies for multiple AWS services in the US-EAST-1 region. This issue also affects other AWS services in the same area.”
For those unfamiliar, AWS is a prominent internet infrastructure provider that powers many websites and apps, meaning when AWS undergoes issues, the problems also take a toll on services not directly linked to it.
The company added that during the outage, users were unable to create or update support cases. For a quick resolution to the service breakdown, Amazon deployed engineers to resolve the problem and identify the root cause.
