Users report that various Meta applications are down, including Instagram and Facebook, but it isn’t a problem for all users.
Meta services appear to be down with outages centered around New York and California. Smaller outages around the country indicate it may be a server-side issue that should be resolved soon.
Reports of Instagram and Facebook outages appeared on Downdetector starting at about 7 p.m. EST. Threads also appears to be experiencing outages, but it didn’t show up in the tool until after 8 p.m. EST.
Reported outages have continued to rise since the issue began. AppleInsider staff report intermittent issues when attempting to access the affected Meta apps on iPhone.
Meta hasn’t released a statement about the outage. Expect services to be restored soon.
