Meta-owned platforms like Instagram and Facebook faced a big outage of more than an hour on Wednesday. The downtime of the popular social media apps was confirmed by Downtector where many people complained about their inability to use the apps on their phones for a few hours.

Most of the reports on the website have come late on Tuesday evening in countries like the US while some people in India also observed that the apps were not working on early Wednesday.

The reports of outages were recorded around 7 am on Wednesday in India, while the impact was greater in the US where thousands were facing issues accessing these apps. Most of the complaints were about problems with their app while some of them were unable to open Facebook on the web as well.

As is the tradition with these outages, most people were headed over to X which was still running and people shared their updates to see if others are also facing the same problem.

This isn’t the first major outage faced by Meta’s Instagram and Facebook. These two apps along with other services were not available back in March, as these extended outages affected a substantial user base for these companies. Meta even acknowledged the issues and successfully resolved them.
