Fez– Millions of users around the world experienced difficulties accessing Meta-owned social media platforms on Friday after a widespread outage disrupted services across Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.
Users reported a range of issues, including login failures, problems loading content, and interruptions to core platform functions.
Reports of the disruption quickly spread across other online services as users sought information about the outage.
The incident affected Meta’s three major social media platforms simultaneously, raising concerns among users who rely on the services for communication, business activities, content creation, and access to news and information.
