Facebook’s app users are reportedly getting kicked out of their accounts

There's a lot of confused people

Problems with Facebook? Yeah, you’re not alone.

For reasons that aren’t yet clear, some users are receiving unusual alerts, telling them that their messages have been deleted for being spam, while others are being redirected to the login screen and told that their accounts can’t be verified.

According to The Independent, other users are receiving messages informing them that their account has been hacked. As a result, they’ve been signed out and had their password changed.

According to website Down Detector, the problems are occurring around the world, with Europe and America’s east coast appearing to be the worst hit. As pointed out by the same website, this may be a problem posed by time zones.

The issue appears to be with Facebook itself rather than a hack, which is reassuring for people worried about the security of their smartphones and the information they hold.
