Facebook and Instagram down? It’s not just you, mass outage reported on popular social media platforms
Outages are being reported on both Facebook and Instagram Tuesday afternoon, with users taking to both X and Downdetector to register problems with the popular social media platforms.
‘Facebook and Instagram’ were trending on X late Tuesday morning after users found themselves unable to use Meta’s social platforms. “Love that I can always count on Twitter to confirm that Meta is down and we’ve all been logged out of Facebook and Instagram isn’t working,” one user commented.
While the scale of the outage is unclear at this stage, users in both the UK and the US are reporting outages on Downdetector. Some 134,000 reports say there are problem with Facebook’s app and login, as well as the official website, with a similar number spike and a massive 315,000 reports in the US.
A similar number of Instagram users in the same locations are reporting issues, which began just after 10 am ET.
Users on Facebook’s app for iPhone are met with a “Session expired” popup and prompted to log in again, however tapping “Log In” delivers another error popup which states “Unable to log in. An unexpected error occurred.” Neither Instagram or Facebook have publicly acknowledged the outage or what might be causing it at this stage.
