Meta acknowledged the widespread outage on Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram that affected users globally on Tuesday, March 5. In a statement on its official X page, the company apologized for any inconvenience caused and thanked users for their patience.
Meta's communications director, Andy Stone, attributed the outage to a "technical issue" in a separate post on X.
The outage began around 11:21 PM PST on Tuesday, as reported on DownDetector. Facebook users were randomly logged out of their accounts and unable to log back in, even with the correct password. Messenger and Instagram also experienced issues, preventing users from sending messages and refreshing their feeds.
