Facebook and Instagram have been facing issues since early Tuesday afternoon. According to Downdetector, a service monitoring online platforms, users started reporting difficulties accessing the social networks around 12.09 pm today. Within 15 minutes, over 38,000 notifications about the problems had been registered.
Instagram, Facebook, and Messenger are experiencing instability.
Affected users are experiencing difficulty logging into Facebook, with some suspecting they have been targeted by hackers. Those who were previously logged in have been disconnected and are unable to reconnect.
Other Meta platforms such as Messenger and Instagram are reportedly experiencing the same issue. Users have also reported problems with WhatsApp. However, based on our tests, WhatsApp appears to be functioning normally, suggesting that the issue may not be widespread.
Other services are impacted as well.
Other services, including Google services like Google Play and Discord, experienced instability on Tuesday afternoon (5) while this matter was being produced.
The reason for the issue with different internet services is still unknown, but it could be connected to AWS (Amazon Web Services), a cloud computing platform that supports various online services. While companies have not commented on the problems, there has been an increase in notifications about AWS on Downdetector.
Users visit X (previously known as Twitter) to express dissatisfaction.
Several users typically went to X (Twitter) to discuss the impact of these services.

I always check Twitter to see if the Instagram/WhatsApp service is down.
Galera, o Facebook de vocês caiu também? Apareceu que minha sessão foi expirada e não consigo mais entrar. O Instagram parece estar com problema também. O Whatsapp parece estar normal, mas parece ter rolado algo cabuloso na meta. Ataque hacker? Zuck hackeado? O caos tá vindo aí? pic.twitter.com/naFTjncBJO

Did your Facebook and Instagram experience disruptions? It seems like there was an issue with the session expiring. WhatsApp appears to be functioning normally, but there might have been some unusual activity. Are there concerns about a possible hacker attack or security breach by Zuck?
