Whatsapp, Instagram and Facebook are down.

Millions are scrambling to alternative social media platforms, mainly X and TikTok, as Meta products such as Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp experience widespread outages worldwide.

According to Down Detector and DownForEveryoneOrJustMe.com, the outage began around an hour ago. Users in the United States, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the Philippines, among other countries, have reported issues.

Facebook and Messenger users say they are being abruptly logged out of their accounts, while attempts to log back in trigger an “unexpected error occurred” message or a blank white screen.

Instagram users are experiencing major loading problems, with both the app and website displaying “Something went wrong” messages or failing to refresh feeds.
