Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram went down today in what appeared to be a major outage stemming from their parent company, Meta
If you experienced challenges with your Facebook, Instagram or Messenger today, chances are you were among the hundreds of thousands of users affected by an outage.
Yes! Facebook, Instagram and Messenger went down in what appeared to be a huge outage at their parent company, Meta. Users found themselves unable to load the apps or websites as normal. On Facebook, affected users found they had been logged out and could not get on, while Instagram did not work at all. The warnings about being logged out led to widespread concern among users that their accounts had been hacked. However, the error messages appeared to result from problems with Facebook’s login system, not a hack or cyber attack.
