Facebook and Instagram are down, but Meta’s status page doesn’t report any issues.
- Facebook and Instagram are experiencing widespread outages in the United States and Europe, leaving many users unable to load feeds or access services.
- Meta’s own status page does not show any reported problems, even though users and monitoring services are seeing clear disruptions.
- Messenger users are also being logged out, and Meta’s business suite is having trouble loading updates.
- Downdetector showed signs of trouble but returned a 404 error during verification, making the outage harder to confirm through that service.
- Down For Everyone or Just Me reported that Facebook issues began about 33 minutes earlier, with nearly 15,000 people reporting problems.
