Meta’s Facebook and Instagram seemed to be facing major technical issues Tuesday (05/03/2024), with thousands of users reporting glitches while accessing the social networking platforms.
Users experienced issues such as being logged out of Facebook and receiving error messages such as “Something went wrong.” “Please try again.” According to monitoring site Downdetector, error reports increased shortly after 10:30 a.m. ET Tuesday. As of 11 a.m., Downdetector had received over 500,000 mistake reports.
In addition, Instagram users complained that their feed did not update. The outage also affected Meta’s messaging platform and Threads, a Twitter-like service released last year.
