A bunch of Meta apps experienced major issues on Wednesday. When the outage first happened at around 1PM ET, for many staffers at The Verge, apps like Facebook and Instagram weren’t loading or showed older posts. However, Meta now says that things have recovered (or are basically all the way there).
Meta’s Facebook and Instagram were down for thousands of users across the United States on Wednesday (December 11, 2024), according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com.
