Websites and apps including Amazon, Zoom, Ring, Snapchat and HMRC, have been hit by an internet blackout.
The Times reports that the outage is caused by issues with Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the US which are affecting apps which depend on its infrastructure, according to service disruption platform Downdetector, which showed a spike in failures reported from 8 am.
Other affected apps include banks such as Lloyds and Halifax, work apps such as Slack and Canva, and phone and broadband companies including BT, Vodafone and EE.
Wordle, Duolingo, Roblox, Fortnite, National Rail, Microsoft 365 and eventbrite are affected too.
AWS say that engineers are working to fix the outage.
