Facebook, Instagram Outage: Meta’s social media platforms Facebook and Instagram are experiencing a widespread outage on Tuesday as users across the world reported that the apps and website were not working properly and they were unable to push the content.
Hundreds of complains have flooded Downdetector, which tracks outages by collating status reports from several sources including user-submitted errors on its platform, with the majority of problems focused on Instagram comments not loading and users being unable to post.
The outage tracking website saw a spike in the number of reports today around 1pm in United Kingdom (6:30 pm IST). Many Facebook users began reporting issues with the platform at that same time.
Instagram users said the issue is mainly affecting the comments section of their posts.
Users reported that even though their stories and pictures have comments, they weren’t able to view any of them.
‘I see comments, but when I click on them it says no comments, start the conversation. When I put comment it disappears,’ one user explained.
Meta has not yet responded on the outage.
