- Metas Facebook, Instagram and Messenger are down worldwide
- The outage occurred around 10:45 a.m. ET and is impacting the apps and websites
Metas Facebook, Instagram and Messenger are offline globally, preventing the user from scrolling, posting or contacting friends.
The outage occurred around 10:45 a.m. ET and affected the US, Britain, parts of Europe and Asia; other countries have also been affected.
DownDetector, a site that monitors online outages, reported issues with the apps, websites and users accessing accounts.
It is not yet known what caused the problem, but it has been 15 days since the social media platforms were taken offline due to an internal issue.
This is a development story….
Facebook, Instagram and Messenger meta’s are offline globally, preventing user from scrolling, posting or contacting friends
Problem reports submitted by users to DownDetector show that there are more problems with Facebook, followed by Messenger and then Instagram.
However, for all three, more than 50 percent of the reports indicated that the apps do not work properly.
On Facebook, users see notifications that their accounts have been suspended or their session has expired and are asked to log in again.
Messenger’s issues show users being “unavailable to friends.”
Although some users have said they can send messengers, recipients cannot reply.
And Instagram users are reporting issues with comments, posts, and news feed.
