Social media platforms owned by Meta experienced outage issues Tuesday morning, affecting users around the world.
Both Facebook and Instagram, Meta-owned platforms, were reported down according to DownDetector.
Meta spokesperson Andy Stone acknowledged the situation, saying that Meta is working on solving them.
“We’re aware people are having trouble accessing our services,” Stone wrote Tuesday on X, formerly known as Twitter. “We are working on this now.”
Users trying to access Facebook found themselves logged out when trying to use the platform on desktop, while mobile users were met with a message saying their session had expired.
Instagram users were able to access content on the platform, but they received notifications that they were unable to refresh their feeds. Desktop users encountered the message “Something went wrong.”
Thousands of people also found issues with trying to use Facebook Messenger. Threads users, another platform owned by Meta, were not able to access their homepages, affecting thousands of people, according to DownDetector.
Meta status page showed “major disruptions” for Facebook & Instagram Shops, Meta Admin Center, Facebook Login, Graph API, WhatsApp Business API and Marketing API, as of 11:53 a.m.
It is not immediately clear what caused the issues.
