Facebook, Instagram Down: Thousands of Users Report Problems Including Getting Logged Out
By Todd Spangler, 20 minutes ago
Meta’s Facebook and Instagram appeared to be experiencing widespread technical problems Tuesday, with thousands of users logging errors in accessing the social media services.
Users reported problems including being logged out of Facebook — and when they attempted to log back in saw an error message such as, “Something went wrong. Please try again.” According to monitoring service Downdetector, error reports spiked just after 10:30 a.m. ET Tuesday.
In addition, Instagram users reported that their feed was not refreshing. The outage also extended to Meta’s Messaging platform and Threads, its Twitter-like app launched last year.
Reps for parent company Meta did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
