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.
