Instagram, Facebook down globally

Social media platforms Facebook, Instagram, Threads and Messenger platforms are experiencing login issues in what appears to be a global outage.

Users complained about log in issues on aforementioned platforms. They were logged out of both Facebook and Instagram.

Some were unable to refresh Instagram pages. Many users were also asked to change passwords.

Some users also faced a familiar issue on YouTube.

Cybersecurity expert Matthew Green said the outage appears to go beyond Meta.

London-based internet monitoring firm Netblocks said on X that four Meta platforms — Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Threads — are “currently experiencing outages related to login sessions in multiple countries.”

But the firm, which advocates for internet freedom, said there was no sign of “country-level internet disruptions or filtering,” which are typically imposed by governments.

There were more than 3,00,000 reports of outages for Facebook, while there were more than 20,000 reports for Instagram, according to Downdetector.com.
