Facebook and Instagram appeared to be slowly coming back online Friday after users reported widespread outages.
According to Downdetector, a website that tracks online service disruptions, more than 100,000 outage reports were submitted about Facebook at the peak of the disruption. Thousands more were reported about Instagram.
Users reported problems logging in, loading feeds, publishing posts and accessing the apps and websites.
Downdetector reports began declining about an hour after the outage was first reported, suggesting service was gradually being restored.
A Meta spokesperson said the company was aware that some users were experiencing issues with Facebook and Instagram and was working to resolve them.
