The outage has significantly disrupted functionalities across these popular social media platforms.
Login Troubles and Feed Refresh Challenges
Users have encountered a range of issues, including being unexpectedly logged out of their Facebook accounts, leading to difficulties in logging back in. Similarly, Instagram users have reported struggles in refreshing their feeds, experiencing failures in loading stories and comments.
Additionally, Threads, a messaging app developed by Meta, has faced a complete shutdown, presenting users with an error message upon attempting to launch the application.
Sharp Increase in User Reports
Complaints on DownDetector, a website dedicated to tracking internet service outages, have surged dramatically for all three platforms in the wake of the technical glitches. Despite the widespread user reports and disruptions, Meta has not yet issued an official acknowledgment of the problem.
