Meta says most issues have been resolved after apps like Instagram, Facebook and Threads were experiencing issues on Wednesday afternoon and errors were reported by people across the internet. In a post on X, Meta apologized for Wednesday's outage. "Thanks for bearing with us! We’re 99% of the way there - just doing some last checks," Meta said.

Meta owns and operates Facebook, Instagram, Threads and Whatsapp. Downdetector showed 8,234 reports of outages from Whatsapp users. Among those, 82 percent reported problems with sending messages.

A bunch of Meta apps are down right now. For many staffers at The Verge, Facebook, Instagram, and Threads aren’t loading right now and are showing error messages when you try to load them. Reports across Bluesky, X, and Reddit show that many people see the same thing.
