FACEBOOK is experiencing a global outage, with users worldwide reporting they cannot access their accounts. The outage began around 4:15 PM ET, and affected users attempting to sign in are shown the message: “Account Temporarily Unavailable. Your account is currently unavailable due to a site issue. We expect this to be resolved shortly. Please try again in a few minutes.” according to The status and outage page of Meta business products.
DownDetector logged a spike in complaints about login, website, and app issues in the last few hours, while the Meta status page flagged High Disruptions across Ads Manager, Instagram Boost, and the WhatsApp Business API, with no mention of Facebook login. Over the past hour, several sites also noted a global surge in reports from users. The outage has prompted ongoing updates from security news outlets as the platforms recover.
