Instagram, Facebook down for thousands of users across the Globe

What is known as follows

More than 350,000 people have reported issues with Instagram & Facebook, according to Downdetector.com, an outage tracker.

THIS CITY It seems like a lot of people are experiencing outages on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads. Tuesday, when tens of thousands of users are experiencing login problems.

There have been over 350,000 reports of Facebook issues, according to downdetector.com, an outage tracker. There were few reports prior to 10 a.m. Eastern, when the outage seems to have started.

Meta, a social media business, owns Facebook. About four billion people—roughly half of the world’s population—use the company’s communication apps.

Though fewer users have reported problems with Instagram and Threads, two more social media apps developed by Meta, similar spikes occurred at roughly 10 a.m.

A pop-up message reading “Session expired” was sent to users entering Facebook on iOS devices. Kindly try again to log in.

Users are directed to a sign-in page after hitting the OK button in the app. However, after entering the user’s password, the login process seems to fail.

Instagram users weren’t prompted to log out, but a popup did inform them that the app couldn’t refresh their feed.

Threads users had a persistent loading symbol that prevented them from viewing their feeds. It appears that apps that rely on Facebook for login are currently unable to do so. Meta didn’t respond right away to a request for comment.

How extensive the outage is and how long it will continue are both unknowns.

The Meta admin center and the WhatsApp business API are among the essential services affected by “major disruptions,” according to the company’s public help page. However, Facebook Login is classified as “unknown.”
