Instagram, Facebook, Threads and Messenger are coming back online after widespread “technical issues” took down many of Meta’s biggest apps for several hours Wednesday. “We’re 99% of the way there – just doing some last checks,” the company wrote in an update on X nearly four hours after first acknowledging the outages.
The company didn’t elaborate on the source of the issue, or when the problems might be resolved entirely. As of 4:30 PM PT Wednesday, Meta’s status dashboard still showed some “major disruptions” to its business and transparency tools, though other services were marked as “resolved” or “recovering.” Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Threads and Messenger seem to have largely recovered, though.
Thanks for bearing with us! We’re 99% of the way there – just doing some last checks. We apologize to those who’ve been affected by the outage.
