On the evening of March 5th, 2024, a wave of frustration swept through the Meta’s Facebook, Instagram and Threads communities as users encountered unexpected difficulties with their accounts.
Facebook users were suddenly logged out, leaving them puzzled and disconnected from their online social circles.
Simultaneously, Instagram users were met with a frustrating inability to refresh their feeds or view new posts, leaving them feeling out of touch with the latest updates from their friends and favourite accounts.
The widespread nature of these technical issues quickly became apparent, as reports flooded in from users across the globe.
From bustling cities to remote corners of the world, individuals were grappling with the same problem, indicating that this was not an isolated incident but a widespread disruption affecting users worldwide.
As users desperately sought answers and solutions, they turned to alternative platforms to express their frustrations and seek solace.
X, formerly known as Twitter, became a refuge for those seeking to vent their concerns and connect with others facing the same predicament.
The hashtags #FacebookDown and #InstagramDown trended rapidly, serving as a virtual gathering place for users to commiserate and share their experiences.

Despite the mounting frustration and confusion, Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has remained silent on the matter.
No official statement has been issued from meta to address the problem, leaving users in a state of uncertainty and speculation.
In the absence of an official explanation, users can only speculate about the root cause of these technical issues. Theories range from routine maintenance gone awry to more concerning possibilities such as cyberattacks or system failures. However, without concrete information, these remain mere conjectures.
