UPDATE (1:30 PM): All previously-affected services are functioning now.
UPDATE (12:25 PM): Logging back into Facebook and Messenger seems to be working now. No luck as yet with Instagram and Threads.
UPDATE (11:52 AM): “We’re aware people are having trouble accessing our services,” Meta Spokesperson Andy Stone said in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “We are working on this now.”
If you noticed you were suddenly signed out of Facebook and Messenger this morning (Tuesday 5th March, 2024), you are not alone. The platform is facing a serious outage that has logged out users in many countries. Due to this outage, re-entering your password will be rejected — but your password is not wrong. There is no need to change your password (yet). You are not being phished. This is all due to a Meta service disruption.
The outage, which started around 11:00 AM, is also affecting Messenger, Instagram and Threads — all owned by Meta. Some users found they had been logged out of their Facebook accounts this morning while others got notifications on Instagram that “something went wrong” and their feeds could not be loaded. Threads, Meta’s competitor to Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter), also went down and showed users a popup that said “Something went wrong, please try again later” in place of their feed. More than 500,000 reports have hit Down Detector and X (formerly Twitter) is flooded with reports as well. While major platform outages happen relatively infrequently, they are typically the result of something benign, such as an issue with a software update. Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp went down during a massive worldwide outage in 2021, which lasted for six (6) hours. At the time, the company said the outage was caused by “configuration changes on backbone routers.” Meta has yet to acknowledge today’s ongoing issues. More on this as it becomes available.
