On December 12, Meta experienced significant disruptions as WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook became inaccessible, hindering millions of users from accessing their accounts on these services. This outage had a global impact, notably affecting users in India, where message delivery ceased at midnight on Thursday.
In a similar vein, users in the United States encountered problems with Instagram and WhatsApp during the early morning hours. Downdetector, a well-known outage tracking service, verified these incidents, and the affected platforms communicated updates to their users via posts on the social media platform X.
The Downdetector platform indicates that a greater number of individuals in the United States experienced the outage for an extended duration, whereas users in India encountered disruptions lasting over an hour. The predominant reports concerning WhatsApp pertain to difficulties in sending messages, leading many users to restart their Wi-Fi routers.
It appears that all Meta-owned platforms encountered a similar technical problem, resulting in downtime affecting billions of users this week. We anticipate further communication from the company to provide clarity regarding the outage.
