Meta says Facebook, Instagram working again after outage

Meta-owned Facebook and Instagram were back up on Tuesday after a more than two-hour outage that was caused by a technical issue and impacted hundreds of thousands of users globally.

Meta said they "resolved the issue" after hours-long outages affected their platforms in several countries. The disruptions started at around 10:00 a.m. with many users saying on rival social media platform X they had been booted out of Facebook and Instagram and were unable to log in.
