Meta apps Facebook and Instagram have been experiencing technical difficulties Tuesday morning, barring hundreds of thousands of users from accessing the platforms.
Users flooded to post about the issue on X, with many saying that they were logged out of their accounts and could not log back in, causing “Facebook & Instagram” to trend on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.
“We’re aware people are having trouble accessing our services. We are working on this now,” wrote Meta spokesperson Andy Stone on X at 7:52 a.m. Pacific Time.
Downdetector reported more than 550,000 reports of Facebook outages around 7:30 a.m. PT. Of Facebook users who reported issues with the app, 76% said that they had issues logging in, 16% they had problems with the app, and 8% had issues with the website, according to Downdetector.
More than 90,000 Instagram users also reported outages around the same time.
Meta did not reply to a request for comment.
