Service disruption with META causes problems across all social media platforms.

Meta goes down

Meta social media apps faced disruption in the US after 17,000 reports were made on Wednesday. Now, users from the platform are back on track as social media apps are working fine again.

The number of users above showed issues coming from the social media platform Instagram. Over 13,000 incidents reported for Facebook and briefly spike for WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger. The website which tracked the data Downdetector, collated a status report from several sources with errors on the platform.

Many Meta users used Twitter to raise their concerns of the app, sharing with others that the platforms were down. Again, many thanked Twitter for being able to connect with others on what’s happening and why everything went down.

What to do when social media goes down:

  • Make sure you create a newsletter email – get your followers to subscribe so if social media does ever go down then you have a way of talking to your audience
  • Check all social media apps – there is bound to be one that is still working and communicate through there
  • Back up your data often – check your insights regularly and record everything incase you need it
