Facebook outage affected thousands of users with reports of problems on Facebook, Messenger and Instagram, according to the monitoring site Downdetector.
Meta acknowledged the disruption in a post on X by its communications team and said staff were working to find a solution.
Andy Stone, a member of Meta's communications team, wrote on X, "We're aware people are currently having trouble accessing our services. We're working on it."
The company did not provide a cause for the outage in its public message and said engineers were investigating.
Information for this report was drawn from the Downdetector website and a tweet by Meta's communications team, and the story was reported from San Jose.
Impact And Response
Users experienced access issues across multiple Meta services simultaneously, with thousands of separate reports appearing on Downdetector during the incident.
Meta's communications team offered acknowledgement and reassurance but did not estimate a timeline for full restoration of services.
Because Meta has not identified a cause, the scope of the problem and any downstream effects remain unclear as engineers continue diagnostics.
News outlets noted the outage was under active review and described the situation as developing, advising readers to check back for updates.
