According to Down Detector, Facebook has accumulated more than 158,000 reports of downtime since around 3:00 pm on March 5, while Instagram has recorded over 26,000 reports during the same timeframe. This widespread disruption emerged late on Tuesday, leading irritated users to seek refuge on alternative platforms.
The issues plaguing Facebook and Messenger became apparent as users were suddenly logged out and unable to log back in, despite using the correct credentials. Moreover, Instagram’s News Feed is showing an error message.
As of now, neither Facebook nor Instagram has released any statements regarding the cause of the disruption. But the problem will be resolved quickly according to Facebook.
