Users report a service disruption across several Meta platforms on Friday morning, starting shortly before 10 a.m. ET. Multiple outlets say complaints first appear to center on WhatsApp, with outages then spreading to other services including Facebook and Instagram, and messaging features such as Messenger. Reports indicate users have difficulty accessing the affected apps and websites; some users are abruptly logged out of Facebook, according to one outlet’s description of the experience. Downdetector tracking cited by one source shows user-reported problems for Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and Messenger. Another source notes that Messenger and WhatsApp also appear to be impacted, suggesting the disruption is not limited to social feeds. By midday, at least some services are reported to be recovering, though recovery appears uneven by region, with functionality returning for some users while others continue to experience issues. Meta has not been presented in the supplied coverage with detailed technical information, but communication from Meta leadership acknowledges awareness of people experiencing problems.
