Yes, that’s right, it appears Facebook and Instagram are having issues this morning. If you’ve received an error message upon login and, like me, attempted to reset your password several times, you’re not alone.

Thousands are affected by this unprecedented Meta outage. Some users are reporting that as they were scrolling, they were simply logged off and have been unable to access any Meta software since that time.

Here’s an article from WFLA in Tampa reporting over 352,000 outages:

We do know, however, that Meta is aware of the issue.

X (Formerly Twitter) users are seizing the opportunity to take aim at Meta and their software engineers. A popular meme is circulating, showing a satirical picture of a Meta engineer attempting to resolve the issue. Check it out here.

In the meantime, this is a great opportunity to call those stale leads or past clients, send some texts, and create stellar LinkedIn content (which still totally works by the way) while we wait for our beloved channels to come back online.
