Facebook is being blamed for widespread iOS app failures across the US and Europe that began around 6:30 a.m. Friday.
A number of apps and services including Spotify, Pinterest, and Tinder are currently broken on iOS devices, according to The Verge.
Widespread reports spread throughout social media of apps crashing on iPhones and iPads, and corresponding outage spikes on DownDetector.com.
Facebook’s software development kit, or SDK, which many apps use to manage user logins, is being blamed in early analysis.
“We are aware and investigating an increase in errors on the iOS SDK which is causing some apps to crash,” Facebook said Friday morning.
