Meta hit by global disruptions as thousands of Facebook and Instagram users report service issues

Thousands of Facebook and Instagram users worldwide experienced service disruptions on Sunday, with reports of login failures, inaccessible accounts, and issues loading content. Users encountered problems such as frozen Reels, inability to post new content, and white screens without error messages. Some users saw outdated content on their devices despite having active internet connections. The issue appeared to affect both platforms simultaneously, suggesting a potential problem with Meta's shared systems, although no official explanation has been provided. Meta has not confirmed the cause, scope, or impact on related services like Messenger, Threads, or WhatsApp. Affected users were advised against deleting accounts or reinstalling apps, as these actions might not resolve system-level issues.
