Are Facebook and Instagram Down? What to Know

Users of some of the most popular social media apps reported widespread issues Friday morning. The problems included Facebook, Instagram and Facebook Messenger, all of which are owned by Meta.

Downdetector showed more than 80,000 reports of issues with Facebook around 10:15 a.m. ET Friday. (Downdetector and CNET are both owned by the same parent company, Ziff Davis.) Other high rates of errors showed with different Meta services, namely Instagram and Facebook Messenger.

By about 11 a.m., the platforms seemed to be operating close to normal, letting users log in even if some features still had glitches.

CNET has reached out to Meta for details.
