Facebook and Instagram users worldwide reported difficulties accessing the platforms on Friday, June 12, according to outage tracking websites and complaints posted on rival social media platforms.
Downdetector, the online outage tracking website, indicated that more than 100,000 people were having problems logging in to Facebook as of Friday afternoon. It also showed more than 9,000 users reporting problems with Instagram and nearly 20,000 with Facebook Messenger.
Users across the United States, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East also reported being logged out of their profiles, greeted by blank feeds, or met with repeated “unexpected error” and “query error” messages.
The disruption marks the latest in a series of intermittent outages affecting Meta’s family of apps in recent years.
In a major incident in March 2026, users across several countries were unable to load feeds or access their accounts for hours.
Andy Stone, Meta spokesperson, took to X to reveal that the company is “aware people are currently having trouble accessing our services,” adding that Meta is “working on it”.
