Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp hit by massive outage

Meta's family of apps including Facebook and Instagram were down on Wednesday, resulting in users being unable to access the services.

The widespread outages began around 9:57 a.m. PST and affected the social media company's core apps as well as Threads, WhatsApp and Messenger, according to user-submitted reports gathered by the internet-monitoring site Downdetector.

More than 100,000 users experienced problems using the Facebook service at 10:11 a.m. PST, representing the peak of the outages, according to Downdetector.

Meta acknowledged the outage via a post on social media site X, saying the company is "aware that a technical issue is impacting some users' ability to access our apps."

"We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and apologize for any inconvenience," the X post said.

It does appear the services are slowly coming back. Instagram was inaccessible earlier, and nothing was refreshing. However, the feed on my personal account managed to update, and I could save posts, although Story posts remain unviewable.
