Instagram, Threads, Meta, and WhatsApp, virtually, all of Meta’s main services suffered outage on Wednesday afternoon. While none of the platforms appeared to return 500 errors, many stopped updating and refused to accept posts.

Down Detector shows a massive increase in outage reports for all the services starting at about noon ET. Since then, they’ve slowly but by no means completely, recovered. Other unrelated sites and services, according to Down Detector, also appeared to be struggling at the same time, including Amazon’s AWS service which backs many of the popular sites and services throughout the Internet.
