On Tuesday, Meta’s Facebook and Instagram appeared to be beset by pervasive technical issues, as thousands of users reported encountering difficulties while attempting to access the platforms.
Users encountered difficulties, such as being logged out of Facebook and receiving an error message like “Something went wrong” when they attempted to register back in. “We kindly request that you try again.” Downdetector, a monitoring service, detected an increase in error reports shortly after 10:30 a.m. ET on Tuesday.
Furthermore, users of Instagram have complained that their feeds do not refresh. Additionally affected were Meta’s Messaging platform and Threads, an application resembling Twitter that was introduced a year ago.
Representatives of the parent company, Meta, failed to respond to requests for comment immediately.
