Users took to Twitter to voice their frustrations with the outage.

One Facebook user wrote: “Is it me only but Facebook is down.”

“Is it just me or what. Because I am unable to see my friend’s list from my home page and no one else’s either. And of course we hop on Twitter to see what’s wrong with Facebook,” voiced another irate user.

A third user wrote: “My search is working now after trying for so long.”

“Can’t search, even pages I know exist do not come up,” wrote another.

The latest disruption followed a more severe outage on February 8 when a technical glitch caused problems for Facebook and Instagram users.

“A technical issue caused some people to have trouble accessing our products. We resolved the issue as quickly as possible,” Meta said at the time.

At the peak of the February 8 outage, Facebook users reported more than 11,000 incidents and Instagram users reported about 7,000 cases, according to Downdetector.
