Thousands of app users complained about having trouble accessing the three websites, Instagram in the evening, and many of them vented their frustrations on other social media platforms.
A later update on Meta’s status page said that most problems had been fixed. The corporation has not yet responded to an inquiry for comment.
On Wednesday, issues started at 18:00 GMT (14:00 EST).
Around 82,000 problems with WhatsApp were reported by the UK website Downdetector, which tracks website performance, at 18:25. However, an hour later, the problem seems to have been mostly fixed.
Not only was there a technical difficulty with Instagram in the UK, but the Reuters news agency also reported that approximately 5,000 users in the US were having problems. Approximately 24,000 WhatsApp users encountered issues at the height of the issue.
On the social networking site X, formerly known as Twitter, WhatsApp posted a message stating, “We know some people are experiencing issues right now, we’re working on getting things back to 100% for everyone as quickly as possible.”
According to Downdetector, around 3,500 users in India and over 7,000 users in Brazil also reported issues with the platform.
