Facebook services were briefly unavailable for some users on Friday for what the world's largest social networking website termed required maintenance.

Several users from across the world reported the problem, with most complaints seem to be originating from US and Europe. At least some users in India and other parts of Asia also experienced the problems.

Users trying to login to the Facebook website saw the following message instead of the regular Facebook News Feed:

Facebook Will Be Back Soon
Facebook is down for required maintenance right now, but you should be able to get back on within a few minutes. In the meantime, read more about why you're seeing this message. Thanks for your patience as we improve the site.

Facebook's website offers the following explanation for the error:

If you're seeing this error message when you try to log in, it usually means that we're making an improvement to the database that your account is stored on. While we're doing this, you won't be able to access your account. We're sorry for the inconvenience.

A few things to note:

  • After the maintenance is over, you'll still be able to log in with the same password
  • Your account won't be affected by the maintenance
  • We don't do site maintenance on all accounts at the same time, so it's possible that your friends will be able to access the site while your account is unavailable
