The social network says it is working to get users back online following an outage Friday. Facebook says it’s investigating the cause, but notes it appeared to be related to a technical issue.

Earlier this morning, some people had trouble accessing Facebook for a short time, reads a statement from Facebook. We quickly investigated and are currently restoring service for everyone. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

Some users were greeted with a message stating “sorry, something went wrong” with no access to the site. However, some users may be able to access Facebook now.
