Meta Responds to Global Outage Affecting WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram

Meta Responds to Global Outage Affecting WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram

Several users have reported being unable to access Meta platforms, including WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram.

According to Downdetector, the issue with WhatsApp began around 11:14 PM IST, with Facebook and Instagram experiencing outages around the same time.

Meta has acknowledged the issue on their official X (formerly Twitter) account, stating “We’re aware that a technical issue is impacting some users’ ability to access our apps. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and apologize for any inconvenience.”

When I attempted to access Instagram, it worked fine. However, in WhatsApp, there is still a delay in sending messages, while Facebook logged me out with a login error. When I tried to sign back into Facebook, the login process just spins indefinitely without doing anything.
