Meta’s two major social media platforms, Facebook and Instagram, experienced disruptions on Sunday, with users across the country reporting problems accessing both the app and website.
According to outage-tracking website Downdetector, nearly 4,808 reports had been submitted by Facebook users in the United States as of 7:46 a.m. GMT. Of those reporting issues, 63% said they were unable to access the website.
Instagram users also ran into trouble, with 2,829 reports filed in the U.S. by 8:18 a.m. GMT the same morning.
The outages did not appear to be limited to the United States. Reporters from Reuters found that access to both Facebook and Instagram was also spotty in Singapore.
As of the time of reporting, Meta had not responded to an email request seeking comment on the disruptions.
