Millions of users around the world report connectivity problems on Meta platforms. Downdetector reports problems in the US, India, the United Kingdom and Brazil.

On March 5, Facebook and Instagram suffered a global outage that affected hundreds of thousands of users for a few hours. Meta did not clarify what could have been the cause of these service interruptions in its networks.. Some users came to X to see if others were also experiencing problems. “I thought my cell phone was no longer working,” said a user on that social network.
