Global Outage Hits Meta-Owned Platforms Facebook and Instagram, Users Face Login Issues and Service Disruptions

Meta’s platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and Messenger, experienced a widespread global outage, according to outage tracking website DownDetector. Users worldwide encountered difficulties loading apps, sending messages, and refreshing feeds on both Facebook and Instagram. DownDetector received over 300,000 reports of outages on Facebook and more than 20,000 reports on Instagram.

Numerous users found themselves unexpectedly logged out of their Facebook accounts and were unable to log back in due to the outage. DownDetector monitors outages by aggregating status reports from various sources, including user-submitted errors, suggesting that the impact of the outage could have been even greater.

Meta, the company behind these platforms, has not yet addressed the global outage, leaving users uncertain about when normal service will resume. WhatsApp, another Meta-owned platform, has not reported any outages so far, but the newly launched rival Threads was also affected. As a result of the outage, users flocked to Elon Musk’s X platform, and hashtags such as #Instagramdown, Facebook, and Mark Zuckerberg began trending on social media, with users sharing memes about the server issue.

This isn’t the first time Meta has faced such a major outage. Last July, Meta platforms, including WhatsApp, experienced a significant outage, which was eventually resolved later in the day. This incident followed a similar outage reported in June of the same year.
