Facebook and Instagram suffer second outage in 72 hours, leaving users unable to log in
Thursday, July 23, 2026
Facebook and Instagram suffered another major outage on Wednesday, marking the second disruption in 72 hours and leaving thousands of users unable to log in, load feeds, or use the apps. Outage reports spiked across multiple regions, with users seeing error pages and access problems on both mobile and web, while Meta said there were no known issues on its status page. The repeated failures matter because they affected two of the world’s most widely used social platforms and renewed concerns about the stability of Meta’s services after a similar outage over the weekend.
