[Update] Instagram down for multiple users globally; Facebook users also report outages.

11 PM IST Update: Instagram, Facebook and Threads services are back online.

Several Instagram users are reporting outages, and Downdetector, a website that tracks real-time issues and outages, confirms this. Additionally, Meta’s Facebook services also seem to be down as several users are reporting problems logging in. Notably, threads were also down at the same time.

Facebook displays a “The password you entered is incorrect” message when trying to log in.

At the time of writing this story, Downdetector had more than 29,000 people reporting problems with Instagram, while nearly 16,000 users reported similar problems with Facebook on the platform. Some of our team members tried to open Facebook on the app and browser but we were all logged out.

As usual, after the shutdown of Instagram and Facebook services, users turned to X to share memes and #instagramdown and #facebookdown hashtags are now trending.
