Outage Details
The desktop version of the Meta-owned social media platform is displaying the error: 'Your account is currently unavailable due to a site issue. We expect this to be resolved shortly. Please try again in a few minutes.' This suggests a server-side problem affecting user access.
User Reports Spike
DownDetector, a website that tracks service disruptions, recorded a sharp increase in searches for 'Facebook down' just before 9am. The spike indicates a significant number of users are affected, though mobile access may still be functional.
