Facebook users are currently reporting difficulties accessing the social media platform, according to Downdetector.com. Many individuals have found themselves logged out of their accounts, with no ability to sign back in, impacting both the app and the website.
The origin of the disruption remains unclear at this point. Several users have encountered obstacles when attempting to reset their passwords or using two-factor authentication for login. Frustrations have escalated as impacted individuals see the message “An Unknown Error Has Occurred” upon attempting to sign back in via the app.
The current outage carries implications for businesses that depend on Facebook for marketing purposes, underlining the importance of the platform in global communication. Users have taken to alternative social networks to express their frustrations and search for updates, leading to the hashtag #FacebookDown trending.
Furthermore, Instagram appears to be experiencing issues for certain desktop users, although the app remains functional for most.
To date, Meta has not provided an estimated time for when complete services will be restored. They advise users to stay updated through official channels.
