Facebook, Instagram and Threads are down for some users
Meta’s social media platforms Instagram, Facebook and Threads are down for many users Tuesday morning.
According to Reuters, the website Downdetector.com recorded over 300,000 reports of outages for Facebook and more than 20,000 reports for Instagram. It collects outage data by compiling status reports from various sources, including user submissions.
The service disruption follows a major outage in 2021 when Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp were down for more than six hours.
