BREAKING: Facebook, Instagram Down: Thousands of Users Report Problems Including Getting Logged Out

Meta’s Facebook and Instagram were 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 the monitoring service Down Detector, error reports spiked just after 10:30 a.m. ET Tuesday. As of 11 a.m., the Down detector had received more than 500,000 error reports. 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. "We're aware people are having trouble accessing our services. We are working on this now," Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said in a post on X social media.
