PSA: Instagram and Facebook are currently down for many people

1 month ago 13

If you’re having issues accessing Meta services, you’re not alone. Both Instagram and Facebook appear to be experiencing widespread outages. Threads is also impacted by the outage.

Going to Instagram’s website currently shows an error message: Sorry, something went wrong. We’re working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.

According to outage aggregator service Downdetector, complaints about Instagram and Facebook outages began shortly after 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT. Reports continue to spike as more users realize the services are down for them.

It’s unclear exactly how widespread the Instagram, Facebook, and Threads outages are. For some people, the services ultimately end up loading – just much slower than usual. Other people, however, are completely unable to access any of Meta’s services.

Meta has not commented on the Facebook, Threads, or Instagram outages. We’ll update this post as we learn more…
