At 2:45pm UK time, Facebook and its chat service, Messenger, reportedly went down.
People who tried to log into the site were met with messages like “an unexpected error occured” or “something went wrong”, The Independent said.
Instagram and WhatsApp, other Meta services, may have been affected too.
Issues appear to have been worldwide.
“We’re aware people are currently having trouble accessing our services. We’re working on it,” Meta’s communications chief, Andy Stone, shared on X earlier.
He said this before many began to see improvements on Meta’s apps, like Facebook.
We're aware people are currently having trouble accessing our services. We're working on it.
