The widespread outage of Facebook and Instagram, both owned by Meta, has left users worldwide unable to access their accounts. Users are reporting being forcibly logged out and facing issues with password recognition upon attempting to log back in.
The problem seems to be affecting not only login functions but also various features within the apps, such as search functions on Instagram. The influx of user reports on platforms like Down Detector indicates the scale of the issue. As of now, neither Facebook nor Instagram has issued any official statements regarding the cause of the outage.
Such widespread disruptions highlight the dependence of users on these platforms for communication, networking, and information dissemination. The lack of transparency from Meta regarding the situation adds to the frustration and uncertainty among users awaiting a resolution.
