Users of popular social media – Facebook and Twitter have lamented the shutdown of the services on Tuesday.
A check by our correspondent on multiple Instagram and Facebook accounts indicates users of the account could not access their accounts.
While Facebook requires existing users to login to their accounts, Instagram account profiles of users and homepage could not be refreshed.
This resulted in users of the social interaction platforms going on X to lament the shutdown of the services.
An X user named Peace Ighodaro (@peace_igho) tweeted, “Who logged us out of Facebook ooo”
A New York-based user, Lidia Curanaj (@LidiaNews), tweeted “Facebook and Instagram down” while a social media influencer in the Philippines, @RealRazziebinx, tweeted, “Is it just me or Facebook logged me out? I guess the world is ending.. see you guys.”
@RaphealMiguel posted a picture of relief with the caption “Me after checking on Twitter that Meta is just down and I’m not hacked since my Instagram isn’t loading and my Facebook got “session logged out”. 😂
@Avviexo posted, “Anyone else’s #Facebook logged out? Can’t log back in, keeps saying session expired or unexpected error?”
Nigeria Sports photojournalist, @PoojaMedia also reacted on the shutdown saying, “Sessions of all Facebook accounts expired & everyone logged out. You have to log in again. Good luck if you still remember your passwords. 😭”
Also, popular X user, @bod_republic, questioned, “Facebook and Instagram down?”
Meanwhile, as of the time of filling this report, neither Facebook nor Instagram owned by Mark Zuckerberg has reacted to the challenge faced by its users.
