In a widespread disruption, Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram experienced a global outage, rendering the popular social media platforms inaccessible to hundreds of thousands of users worldwide. The issue has affected both the apps and websites of these platforms, leaving users stranded and frustrated.
Confirmation of the outage came from DownDetector, a service that monitors online disruptions, which verified the breakdown. Users flooded alternative platforms, such as “X” (formerly Twitter), to report being abruptly logged out of their Facebook and Instagram accounts. (NewsWire)
