Meta‘s Facebook, Messenger and Instagram are down worldwide, leaving hundreds of thousands of users unable to access the social media platforms.
A source inside Facebook told DailyMail.com that the company’s internal systems were also down, which may have led to Tuesday’s outage.
The issues appeared around 10:20am ET and are impacting all social media sites’ apps and website.
DownDetector, which monitors online outages, shows more than 200,000 Americas are having problems with Facebook, but over 30,000 reported the same with Instagram – Messenger has a little over 8,000.
This is a developing story… more updates to come.
