Thousands of Facebook users around the world have reported problems accessing the social media platform, with disruptions affecting several countries, including UK.
Reports of the outage began emerging on Friday, 12 June, as users complained of difficulties loading news feeds, refreshing pages, logging into accounts, and accessing certain features.
According to online outage monitoring services, a significant increase in user reports was recorded throughout the day, indicating that the issue may be affecting multiple regions simultaneously. Users in the United States, the Philippines, Bangladesh and several other countries were among those reporting problems. Similar complaints have also been shared by users in Bangladesh.
Some users reported being unable to access Facebook through both mobile applications and web browsers, while others experienced intermittent service disruptions. Reports circulating online also suggested that certain Meta-owned services, including Instagram and Messenger, may have been affected.
As of publication, Meta had not released an official statement confirming the cause of the disruption. The full extent of the outage remains unclear, with some users reporting complete service interruptions while others continue to access the platform normally.
Technology experts note that outages of this scale can result from a variety of technical issues, including server problems, network disruptions, or software-related failures. However, no official explanation has been provided at this stage.
Users are advised to monitor official Meta channels for updates as engineers work to identify and resolve any ongoing issues. The situation remains developing.
