Meta’s social media apps were reportedly down for thousands
Meta Platforms’ social media apps Instagram and Facebook, messaging app WhatsApp and Twitter-rival Threads were all back up after a brief outage affecting thousands of users on Monday, according to Downdetector.com.
At the peak of the outage, lasting over an hour, over 14,000 users reported issues with accessing Instagram, while around 7,000 and 2,700 users faced issues with Facebook and WhatsApp, respectively.
Meta’s newest offering Threads also experienced an outage, with about 470 users reporting problems accessing the app.
