Global Outage Hits WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram
Late Tuesday night, millions of users across the globe faced significant disruptions as WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram went offline. The outage began around 10:58 PM, sparking widespread concern as users were unable to access the platforms’ core features.
Many WhatsApp users reported difficulties sending and receiving messages, according to reports from Down Detector, a platform that tracks service outages. The sudden failure left personal and professional communications in limbo.
Facebook users experienced challenges logging into their accounts and uploading posts. Additionally, existing posts failed to update, causing frustration among individuals and businesses relying on the platform for engagement.
Instagram faced similar issues, with users unable to view or update posts. Many reported that the app repeatedly crashed, further compounding the frustration.
The simultaneous outage of all three platforms, owned by Meta, underscores the reliance on these services for communication and social interaction. The outage was felt globally, with millions taking to other platforms to voice their concerns.
As of now, Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram, has not issued an official statement on the cause of the outage. Efforts to restore services are reportedly underway, with updates expected soon.
