Users of Meta's social networks and messengers, including Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, have complained of widespread outages. Downdetector, a website that tracks service outages, recorded a sharp rise in reports of problems with the company's sites shortly before 9:30 a.m. ET (7:30 p.m. Astana time), Barron's writes.
Difficulties, in particular, have been experienced by users when trying to log into Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp.
Meta itself, in turn, reported serious outages in a number of its advertising and enterprise products, including Facebook Ads Manager, WhatsApp Business and Messenger API, the publication points out. "We are aware that users are having issues accessing our services," Meta spokesperson Andy Stone wrote on social media. - We are working to troubleshoot the issues."
On June 12, Meta shares briefly went into negative territory on the background of reports about failures (at the minimum they decreased by 1.3%), but at the moment of publication they recovered this fall and added 0.5% against the previous closing.
