Facebook Instagram and Threads are all down
On Tuesday morning, users around the world were taken aback by a widespread disruption in Meta’s major social media applications, including Facebook, Instagram, and even their new Threads app. Upon attempting to access these platforms, users were met with frustrating error messages stating that “something went wrong” and instructing them to try again later. In the case of Facebook, some users were redirected to a disconnected home page, preventing them from even logging in, even when entering their correct credentials.
Reports of these issues began to surface around 10 a.m. on Tuesday, according to various sources, including social media and issue tracking platforms like DownDetector. However, despite these reports and user frustration, Meta’s official status page did not reflect any widespread issues, merely showing results related to Meta’s business products like Ads Manager, without addressing the issues faced by users on the social platforms.
Faced with the lack of transparency and official communication from Meta about the situation, users remained at the mercy of uncertainty and frustration. Many expressed their dissatisfaction on social media, sharing their experiences and seeking answers about the cause and duration of the disruption.
In light of these events, Meta’s communication with its users and transparency about issues faced by its platforms have become topics of discussion. Users expect clear answers and swift solutions to ensure a consistent and reliable experience when using Meta’s services. An official response from the company is awaited to clarify the situation and restore users’ confidence in its social platforms.
