Millions of users experienced a Facebook and Instagram outage on Sunday as Meta’s popular social media platforms faced widespread technical issues. The disruption affected users in Pakistan and several other countries, preventing many people from accessing their accounts.
According to user reports, both the Facebook and Instagram mobile apps and websites encountered login problems. Many users attempting to sign in were greeted with a message stating that their accounts were temporarily unavailable due to a technical issue and advising them to try again later.
The outage quickly became a trending topic as users turned to alternative social media platforms to share their experiences. Many reported that they were unable to refresh feeds, access profiles, or complete the login process, indicating that the disruption affected multiple platform features.
Data from online outage monitoring services showed a sharp increase in reports shortly after 1:00 PM Pakistan time, suggesting that the issue was widespread rather than limited to individual users or specific regions.
Users also posted updates on X (formerly Twitter), where thousands discussed the ongoing service disruption and shared screenshots of the error messages appearing on Facebook and Instagram.
As of now, Meta has not issued an official statement explaining the cause of the outage. The company has also not provided an estimated timeline for when normal service will be fully restored.
Until Meta releases further information, the exact reason behind the Facebook and Instagram outage remains unknown. Users experiencing login or access issues are advised to wait and try again later as technical teams work to restore services.
