Downdetector tracks outages by collating status reports from several sources including user-submitted errors on its platform. 

The outage comes just two days after Instagram was down for users across the globe and was restored hours after. The social platform said it fixed the “bug” that was causing trouble to users.

Before that, Meta Platforms’ social media platforms were down last Friday as well. Later, the company said it had fixed the issue that was preventing users from accessing the platforms.

“Earlier today, a configuration change caused some people to have trouble accessing our products,” a Meta spokesperson said.

More than 11,000 users across Instagram, Facebook and Messenger had reported issues with accessing the apps, sending messages and logging into their accounts, according to Downdetector.
