Outage affecting Facebook and Instagram
If you’re trying to check your friends’ status updates on Facebook or view new stories on Instagram, you may find that this isn’t working. Meta’s social networks are experiencing an outage affecting users worldwide. The outage appears to be affecting some users more than others. For example, the service is unavailable via the website, but the app is still working (to some extent). The same applies to Instagram, although pages there often remain blank as well.
The disruption began on Wednesday afternoon, 22 July, at around 1.30 pm. The cause of the disruption is unknown. It is also unclear how long the disruption will last. Facebook does not usually comment on such matters. Should there be any updates, we will update this article.
