Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp may be distinct social networks, but they're sharing more and more behind-the-scenes architecture these days. Facebook is integrating the technology that runs the messaging systems of all three. And Facebook is reportedly exerting more managerial control over the other platforms.

We can't say whether that's affecting the outage, but it's no coincidence they're all part of the same mothership. Mashable has contacted Facebook to learn more about the outages, and will update this story when we learn more.
