Meta Meltdown: Social Media Giants Face Global Glitch-fest!
Meta’s apps, including Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp, experienced a global outage, leaving users unable to access services or send messages. Meta acknowledged the issue and is working on a fix. While some regions saw restoration quickly, others remained offline. This isn’t Meta’s first rodeo with worldwide downtime.
Hot Take:
Looks like Meta took “hump day” a bit too literally, causing a massive midweek stumble across their platforms. Maybe it’s time to consider a new motto: “Meta, where socializing sometimes takes a coffee break!”
Key Points:
- Meta’s big four—Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and WhatsApp—went AWOL globally.
- The outage started around 12:40 PM ET, leaving millions of thumbs twiddling.
- While some regions saw recovery by 1:20 PM ET, others remained in the social media dark ages.
- Meta acknowledged the issue on X, promising a speedy return to online order.
- This isn’t Meta’s first rodeo; past outages include March 2023 and a DNS debacle in 2021.
