An apparent global outage has affected Meta’s social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Threads.
If you are one of the people who are affected by this, don’t worry because it’s a worldwide issue.
It is not your imagination, all three major Meta apps are down. Thousands of reports started flooding the internet as Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram users reported they were kicked out of their platforms without notice. This is a generalized issue that started showing on people’s devices in the early hours of the United States. However, this is an issue that has been reported to users worldwide. Many who attempted to get into their accounts were quick to note that they couldn’t log into their accounts, causing mass reactions after it was reported. Initially, it was thousands of users but that quickly turned into millions. But why did this happen only to the Meta apps?
A bug hits most of the Meta apps. According to multiple reports, the apps Facebook and Instagram were hit by a bug that doesn’t allow people to log into their accounts.
This bug appeared according to Down detector with an initial 90,000 reports that it was down but the numbers grew exponentially not long after that.
Currently, there has been no report from Meta that mentions updates on when this issue might be resolved.
But every time this happens, it usually doesn’t take too long to be fixed. Usually, Meta apps don’t have these types of problems but we can hopefully have some news to when this bug might be fixed.
