Global Outage Hits Meta Platforms

A big problem happened with Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger.

Many people around the world can't log in or use these apps.

The websites show an error message saying the accounts are temporarily unavailable.

Some people can use the apps on their phones, but others are having trouble too.

A service that tracks problems like this saw a huge number of reports starting around 9:30 in the morning.

People got worried it might be hackers, but it's just a technical issue.

The company hasn't said when it will be fixed yet.
