Meta says most issues have been resolved after apps like Instagram, Facebook and Threads were experiencing issues on Wednesday afternoon and errors were reported by people across the internet.
In a post on X, Meta apologized for Wednesday's outage.
"Thanks for bearing with us! We’re 99% of the way there - just doing some last checks," Meta said.
Outage tracker Downdetector showed big spikes for Instagram, with 70,000 outage reports above average, and Facebook, which had over 100,000 outage reports, as of Wednesday afternoon. Outage reports began to decline in volume after a peak around 1:10 p.m. ET.
WhatsApp, another app owned by Meta, showed a similar spike in reports, and the reports appeared to extend to Facebook Messenger as well. USA TODAY reporters also experienced these outages, with some seeing blank home screens on Instagram for more than three minutes.
