Facebook has been down for an hour, Instagram and Whatsapp also affected

Facebook users around the world are reporting issues logging into and posting on the site as well as on Instagram and WhatsApp.

The company acknowledged the outage in a tweet Wednesday, saying, "We're aware that some people are currently having trouble accessing the Facebook family of apps. We're working to resolve the issue as soon as possible."

Reports of problems with Facebook peaked at over 11,000 worldwide according to Downdetector, a website where users can report problems on apps and websites.

Facebook users posted screenshots on Twitter showing error messages when they tried to load the app.

Facebook previously experienced an outage of its tool for advertisers in November at a time when marketers were trying to place ads for Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Facebook did not immediately respond to CNBC's request for comment.
