Meta’s social media platforms Facebook Messenger, Instagram, YouTube, and WhatsApp are down on Tuesday.
Social media users worldwide were met with frustration as popular platforms owned by Meta, including Facebook, Messenger, Instagram, and others, experienced widespread outages, including in India. Users reported being abruptly logged out of their accounts and encountering difficulties while using the platforms. Many users also facing issues with the Meta-owned instant messaging application WhatsApp as well.
Outages are spiking on the DownDetector.com website. Social media users took to Elon Musk-owned micro-blogging platform X to report the outage. “Facebook is down, so I guess I’ll come hang out with my Twitter peeps. How are we doing on this Tuesday, friends!?,” a user wrote on X.
