This is the best summary I could come up with:

The three Meta-owned platforms aren’t working for many users, with the widespread outage seeming to start around 10AM ET.

Facebook is logging users out of their accounts, leaving them unable to get back in.

A similar Meta outage took place in 2021 when a configuration issue brought down access to Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp for several hours.

When opening the app on a mobile device, it displays an error message that says, “Sorry, something went wrong.

Reports on DownDetector rapidly spiked for all three platforms this morning, while global network trackers NetBlocks noted the issue is affecting multiple countries at once.

The Verge reached out to Meta for an update but didn’t immediately hear back.
