People around the world reported that Meta's social platforms Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads suffered outages for about two hours this morning.
Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg used to describe his company’s mission as “making the world more open and connected.” Tuesday it did the opposite, as all of Meta’s social platforms, which include Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Messenger, and WhatsApp, experienced widespread outages around the globe for around two hours. Some people found themselves being suddenly logged out of Facebook and Messenger. Instagram was not loading new content, starting around 10 am ET.
ThousandEyes, a network intelligence company, said on X that Meta’s web servers were reachable after 11:30 am ET, but that some users were still getting error messages, which suggests a “backend service, such as authentication, as the cause of the issue.” Meta's post on Threads saying “We've resolved the issue 🫶,” didn't appear until nearly 1 pm ET.
