Meta-owned Facebook, Messenger and Instagram experienced worldwide outages Tuesday, with more than half a million users unable to access the social media apps.
The outages also appeared to be affecting other major social media apps, including TikTok, Snapchat and Google’s YouTube video platform.
The outages — reported across Europe and Asia as well as the US — began around 10:20 a.m. ET and still hadn’t been resolved nearly an hour later.
