Meta, the parent company of Facebook, caters to nearly four billion individuals globally, constituting about half of the world's populace, through its suite of communication apps.
Issues akin to those on Facebook have also manifested on Meta's other social media platforms, Threads and Instagram, peaking around 10 a.m., though fewer users have reported problems with these platforms.
Users attempting to access Facebook via iOS devices have encountered a popup notification stating "Session expired. Please log in again." Upon clicking OK, users are directed to a sign-in page, where login attempts fail after entering their passwords.
Instagram users have received a popup indicating the app's inability to refresh their feeds, although it does not necessitate logging out.
On Threads, users have been unable to view their feeds, encountering a perpetual loading icon.
Apps reliant on Facebook for login authentication are presently unable to do so.
Meta has not promptly responded to requests for comment.
The duration and scope of the outage remain uncertain.
The company's public support website denotes "major disruptions" impacting several core services, including the Meta admin center and the WhatsApp business API, although the status of Facebook Login is labeled as "unknown."
