The social media platforms Facebook and Instagram are gone from thousands of users around the world.
Facebook users can’t log into their account, while Instagram users can’t update their feeds. According to Downdetector, 14,864 users reported Instagram outages and 12,103 users reported outages on Facebook in the evening.
In addition to this, users have problems with threads. According to The Verge, when the app is opened, it displays an error message that says “Sorry, something went wrong. Please try again.”
Netizens shared funny messages on X, formerly Twitter, when they couldn’t use these three Meta platforms.
