On June 12 at 14:47 UTC, users reported inability to load feeds, send messages or view stories on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. The disruption affected core social and messaging features across multiple regions, prompting immediate alerts from network monitoring systems.
Meta's engineering teams have mobilized incident response protocols to diagnose server and network configurations linked to the outage. Affected services are being systematically brought back online as diagnostics isolate the root cause of the system failures.
