In the United States, many complaints were linked to app issues, while others involved login failures. Similar reports were recorded in other regions, with users saying they were locked out of their accounts while using them normally.
In the Philippines and elsewhere, complaints increased quickly, with users turning to other platforms to confirm the issue and share their experiences.
Large outages affecting Meta platforms are usually linked to technical problems within the company’s global systems. These may include faulty updates, login system failures, or network issues that interrupt access.
Because Meta’s platforms are closely connected, a problem in one system can quickly affect others, leading to widespread disruption.
Meta said the disruption is linked to a “technical issue” affecting access, logins, feeds, and Messenger for many users.
A similar incident occurred in October 2021, when a routine maintenance command accidentally disconnected Facebook’s data centres from the internet, triggering a global outage that lasted more than six hours.
