Facebook and Instagram suffer worldwide outage
In March 2024, Meta’s Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram are suffering from a global outage, leaving thousands of users unable to access the social media platforms.
According to details, the issues appeared around 19:45 a.m. PST and are impacting both social media sites’ apps and websites. The outage will reject your password, and Facebook will promptly log out its users.
An error message indicating an expired login will surface, and login attempts following the outage will be met with rejected credentials.
Down Detector has accumulated over 300,000 reports since initial reporting, and Twitter and other platforms are inundated with similar outage reports.
Meanwhile, users could not view the content on the picture-sharing platform – Instagram – as the message “Something went wrong” appeared every time they tried to access the site.
Meta’s status dashboard showed the application programming interface for WhatsApp Business was also facing issues.
“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.
The social media giant has about 3.19 billion daily active users across its family of apps, which also include WhatsApp and Threads.
