A major outage disrupts Meta’s services, with users reporting problems accessing Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger. Multiple outlets describe the disruption as global, with core functionality affected even when app loading appears to work for some users. Reports indicate Instagram may load briefly for a small fraction of users, but essential features do not operate normally. Several users report the Instagram mobile application crashing shortly after opening, within about 10 seconds. The outage affects the ability to use key functions across the platforms, rather than only preventing access entirely. Meta has not been uniformly detailed in the available reports on the specific cause, timeline, or whether the issue is resolved at the time of reporting. Users are left with limited functionality while the incident is ongoing.
