Since Tuesday March 5, 2024, it is no longer possible to access the various Meta platforms, notably Facebook and Instagram, but also Threads and Messenger, the social network launched last summer in response to X (formerly Twitter).
Meta “works on the subject”
On Facebook, users of the specialized site Downdetector are complaining regarding being disconnected and not being able to receive the code as part of the two-factor authentication. On Instagram, it is not possible to refresh the news feed. Whatsapp, however, is not affected by this outage according to Tech&Co’s findings.
On Twitter (X), Andy Stone, communications manager at Meta, confirmed the current outage: “We are aware that our users are having difficulty accessing our services. We are currently working on the subject” explains -he.
On Twitter, many Internet users reported these technical difficulties, often with humor. Difficulties logging into his Facebook account led some users of the platform to fear – wrongly – that they had been hacked.
The last big outage of services associated with Facebook was to May 2023, and concerned Messenger, the group’s messaging system, which was no longer available for more than an hour. Meta also had to face a giant outage, affecting all of its services, in October 2021, pushing the company to react. It had lasted almost six hours.
