On Tuesday morning, a widespread technical outage affected Meta-owned platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, Threads, and WhatsApp, leading to tens of thousands of users worldwide being unable to access their accounts or experiencing login issues. Reports began surfacing around 10:20am ET, with users being logged out and unable to log back in. The outage was confirmed by numerous sources, including DownDetector, which noted over 350,000 reports of problems with Facebook and over 47,000 for Instagram. The incident also impacted Meta's internal systems, suggesting a possible cause for the outage. This global disruption, affecting users in India, the UK, and the USA, comes amid concerns, with some speculating about its timing on Super Tuesday.
