Facebook and Instagram were down for thousands of users this Wednesday.
This is according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com, which reported thousands of incidents across the United States.
The issue appears to affect users of Meta services in Ireland and in other countries as well.
There were more than 105,000 incidents of people reporting issues with Facebook and over 70,000 with Instagram.
Whatsapp was also down for more than 12,000 users, according to Downdetector.com.
The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Several Facebook and Instagram users posted on rival platform X that they were encountering an error that said "something went wrong" and that Meta was working to get it fixed.
Hundreds of thousands of Facebook and Instagram users were impacted globally for more than two hours early this year by an outage that was caused by a technical issue.
The platforms faced another outage in October, when services were largely restored within an hour.
