At about 4:30PM ET on October 20, things seemed to be returning back to normal. Apps like Venmo and Lyft, which were either slow to respond or completely nonresponsive before, were appearing to behave smoothly.

A widespread web outage is affecting dozens of websites, apps and games across the internet, with millions of users impacted across the globe.

Snapchat, Roblox, Canva, Fortnite, Duolingo, some banks, including Halifax, Lloyds and Bank of Scotland, and many other websites have been affected after AWS went down.
