If you are having problems logging into Facebook and Instagram, you are not alone. Users all across the world are reporting issues with the social media sites, which are both owned by parent company Meta.

Threads and WhatsApp also appear to be affected by the outage.

Users trying to access Facebook and Instagram found they were logged out and asked to reenter their password. When they try to log in, they are told their password is incorrect and asked to reset it.

However, when they try to reset their password, they receive the following message, "An unexpected error occurred. Please try logging in again."

Logging in with a Google account also results in a similar error.

According to Down Detector, the issues started just after 10 a.m. ET, and within 30 minutes, over 350,000 people reported having trouble logging in.

The outage is also trending on X, where users were complaining of similar issues.

Meta has not commented on the outage.
