The problem persists, and the company has not given an estimated restoration time. Users across several regions report the same issue, confirming it’s not a local network glitch.\n\nThe outage hits Meta’s core engagement channels, potentially throttling ad impressions and revenue for the day. It also reminds advertisers and developers that the platforms are single points of failure for many digital strategies.\n\nHistorically, Meta’s outages have been brief; this one shows even the biggest social networks can stumble without warning.","[\"meta\",\"social-media\",\"outage\"]","2026-06-12T14:25:55.000Z","2026-06-12T14:58:09.703Z","2026-06-12T14:58:16.138Z","published",null,[],"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.xyz.onl\u002Farticle-images\u002Ffacebook-and-instagram-offline-for-many-users.webp",[26,27,28],"meta","social-media","outage",[30],{"name":31,"url":32},"9to5Mac","https:\u002F\u002F9to5mac.com\u002F2026\u002F06\u002F12\u002Fpsa-facebook-and-instagram-are-currently-down-for-many-people\u002F",0]
