Social media platforms Facebook, Instagram and Facebook Messenger were hit by a worldwide outage on June 12, leaving users unable to access the sites.
The Meta-owned platforms appeared to be inaccessible, with Downdetector indicating 80,000 reports of issues with Facebook at about 10.15pm Singapore time, reported US-based tech publication CNet.
Users attempting to access Facebook and Instagram were met with the error message: “Something went wrong”.
Meta vice-president of communications Andy Stone confirmed the outages on the social media platform X. He said: “We’re aware people are currently having trouble accessing our services. We’re working on it.”
A check by The Straits Times at 10.40pm found that Facebook was up and running again but Instagram was still down.
