Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads Go Down Globally

Meta is facing a major outage today, impacting Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Threads. Millions of users around the world are reporting problems, with over 150,000 reports for Facebook and Instagram combined. WhatsApp and Threads are also affected, making this one of the largest disruptions Meta has experienced in recent months.

The company has confirmed the issue, citing a technical problem as the cause. In a statement shared on X (formerly Twitter), Meta said it is working to resolve the issue and apologized for the inconvenience caused to its users. Despite this, many people remain unable to access their accounts or use the affected apps.

Meta’s platforms are used by nearly 4 billion people monthly, making them an essential part of daily communication and social interaction. Outages like today’s highlight the challenges of maintaining reliability for such large-scale systems, leaving millions without access when problems arise.
