Facebook, Instagram down for thousands of users, Downdetector shows

Dec 11, 2024 10:57 AM

Dec 11 (Reuters) - Meta's Facebook and

Instagram were down for thousands of users across the United

States on Wednesday, according to outage tracking website

Downdetector.com.

There were more than 105,000 incidents of people reporting

issues with Facebook and over 70,000 with Instagram, in an

outage that started around 12:50 p.m. ET.

WhatsApp, Meta's messaging application, was also down for

more than 12,000 users, according to Downdetector.com.

The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters

request for comment.

Some Facebook and Instagram users posted on rival

platform X that they were encountering an error that said

"something went wrong" and that Meta was working to get it

fixed.

Hundreds of thousands of Facebook and Instagram users

were impacted globally for more than two hours

early this year

by an outage that was caused by a technical issue.

The platforms faced another outage

in October

, when services were largely restored within an hour.
