Users worldwide are reporting significant issues with Meta’s services, including Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp. Problems include difficulties sending messages, uploading photos and videos, and generally slow performance. The cause of the global outage remains unknown, and Meta has yet to provide official comments.
Widespread Impact Across Platforms
The outages began shortly before 1:48pm Eastern., affecting a large number of users globally. Most complaints cite app or website inaccessibility, slow loading, and errors, such as Facebook posts displaying zero comments. This disruption has impacted all of Meta’s major platforms, including Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp.
Large-scale outages across Meta’s services are rare, but given the company’s prominence as the owner of some of the world’s most popular platforms, the impact is significant and widely noticed whenever they occur, notes NIX Solutions.
Service Recovery and Ongoing Issues
At the time of writing, user reports indicate that services are gradually returning to normal, with complaints decreasing. However, slow loading times persist for many users, and Meta has not officially confirmed that the issues have been fully resolved. We’ll keep you updated as more information becomes available.
