Users around the globe were reporting issues accessing Instagram and Facebook on Friday morning.
Some users reported issues logging into the app, while others said they were unable to see or leave comments on Reels.
Around 10 a.m., Downdetector had more than 132,000 reports indicating Facebook was down in the United States. In Canada, reports peaked around 12,000.
A few minutes later, however, Downdetector also seemed to have gone down, as the website used to report outage issues showed a 404 error to users. The site has since returned.
Downdetector also indicated Messenger was down, with 6,000 reports in Canada around 9:40 a.m.
Other media reports had indicated that the number of users being affected is in the millions.
The vice-president of communications at Meta, Andy Stone, posted on X that they were aware of problems people were having with the service.
Before noon, Stone said they were “coming back, though it may take a bit of time for everything to be fully back to normal.”
