Facebook and Instagram are down today: memes and frustration on social media

Facebook and Instagram users around the world began reporting significant problems on Monday on both platforms, owned by Meta.

Since 11:00 am, the social network has been experiencing issues that prevented users from logging in, uploading posts, and accessing various common functions.

The Downdetector website , which monitors interruptions in online services, confirmed the downtime of both platforms, with thousands of reports detailing errors when trying to update content or use direct messages.

The problems have sparked a wave of frustration among those who rely on social media for daily communication.

What happened to Facebook and Instagram?

So far, Meta has not issued an official statement explaining the exact causes of the crash or an estimate of when the problems will be resolved.

Users have experienced difficulties logging in, uploading media, and keeping their accounts up to date, impacting the experience for millions.

Meanwhile, platforms like X (formerly Twitter) have seen a surge in comments and memes about the downfall of Facebook and Instagram.

Internet users took advantage of the situation to vent their frustration and, as usual, flooded the networks with clever memes that gave a touch of humor to the inconvenience.

Some of the most shared memes refer to the “dependency” on these platforms, while others parody the desperation over Meta’s lack of communication about the problem.

With Facebook and Instagram down, users have found in X a way to express themselves and stay connected while they wait for the platforms to be restored.
