Instagram and Facebook down across globe: Users unable login, outage causes frustration

Instagram and Facebook users around the world are currently experiencing a widespread service disruption. Many users are unable to access the platforms and view photos and profile pictures. The outage has affected users in India and several other countries, causing frustration and prompting users to seek alternative social media platforms to express their discontent.

Meta, the owner of Instagram and Facebook, has not provided any official communication on the outage. However, it has been confirmed that WhatsApp, another platform owned by Meta, is unaffected by the disruption. In India alone, over 19,290 reports of outages have been logged, with the majority of problems concentrated in major cities. Users in Australia, Brazil, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States have also been impacted by the outage.

Meta's Admin Center and Device Manager have been labeled as experiencing technical issues, which is likely the cause of the disruption. Users are turning to other social media platforms, such as X (formerly Twitter), to confirm if Instagram and Facebook are indeed down. On X, users are reacting to the outage with humorous memes and expressing their frustration with the situation.

Despite the widespread disruption, Meta has not released an official statement regarding the cause of the outage. However, it is expected that they are working to restore all services soon. In the meantime, users continue to flock to X to check if Facebook and Instagram are still down.

On Tuesday, users encountered widespread technical problems while accessing social media services. Facebook users were logged out and faced error messages when trying to log back in. Instagram users also reported that their feeds were not refreshing. Even Meta's Messaging platform and Threads app were affected by the outage.

Meta has acknowledged the issue and stated that they are actively working on resolving it. However, until services are fully restored, users will have to rely on alternative social media platforms to connect and share content. As the situation continues to unfold, users are anxiously awaiting updates from Meta to understand the cause of the disruption and when they can expect services to be back to normal.
