TechFacebook and Instagram recover after brief Sunday outage
Downdetector logged more than 17,000 Facebook reports and 5,000 Instagram reports in the U.S.; the cause remains unknown.
TLDR
Facebook and Instagram largely recovered after users reported trouble accessing the services Sunday evening, Sept. 20. Downdetector logged more than 17,000 Facebook incident reports and more than 5,000 for Instagram in the U.S., but those voluntary submissions are not a count of everyone affected. Reuters said reports fell sharply by about 10 p.m. Eastern. Meta did not immediately respond to its request for comment, and no cause has been established.
