According to Downdetector, a website where users can self-report issues with websites and services, showing a surge in reports around 10:30 a.m. ET. The site saw nearly 540,000 reports about Facebook’s issues and over 85,000 reports over problems accessing Instagram.
It was not immediately clear what caused the outage or when Meta might be able to fix it. CNET has reached out to the company for comment and will update if they respond.
Meta’s outage comes nearly two weeks after AT&T suffered widespread issues that left users of the phone carrier without service for hours. As an apology, AT&T said it would give $5 bill credits to each impacted account.
