Amid major global outages faced by popular Meta services like Facebook and Instagram, internet users have also reported issues in accessing Google’s video streaming platform YouTube. Internet traffic observer Down Detector shows hundreds of YouTube users reporting problems with streaming and uploading videos on the platform.
Meanwhile, users of Facebook, Instagram, Threads and Messenger platforms are experiencing login issues in what appears to be a global outage.
“We’re aware people are having trouble accessing our services. We are working on this now,” Meta spokesperson Andy Stone said in a post on X.

London-based internet monitoring firm Netblocks said on X that four Meta platforms — Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and Threads — were “currently experiencing outages related to login sessions in multiple countries.”
But the firm, which advocates for internet freedom, said there was no sign of “country-level internet disruptions or filtering,” which are typically imposed by governments.
The outage quickly became one of the top trending topics on X, with the firm’s owner Elon Musk reacting to the outage in his typical style with a meme.
Meta’s status dashboard showed the application programming interface for WhatsApp Business was also facing issues. There were around 200 reports of outages for WhatsApp on Downdetector, which tracks outages by collating status reports from several sources, including users.
