Facebook session expired Why did Facebook log you out?
If you’re experiencing difficulties accessing your Facebook and Instagram accounts this afternoon, rest assured, you’re not the only one encountering these issues.
It seems that both social media platforms are currently inaccessible for a majority of users worldwide, with reports indicating that Facebook Messenger and Threads are also affected. Additionally, some users are facing challenges in sending and receiving WhatsApp messages, all of which are services under the Meta umbrella of social media companies.
The disruptions began around 3:20 PM, and as of now, the outage persists without any indication of when it will be resolved. Users initially noticed problems when they encountered “session expired” or “unexpected error” messages.
Downdetector, a platform monitoring outages globally, has recorded over 160,000 reports of Facebook being down in the UK, while Instagram has garnered over 40,000 reports, marking one of the most significant challenges for Meta in recent years.
Facebook Messenger, typically functioning as a standalone app on many mobile devices, is also experiencing disruptions according to user reports. Individuals are encountering the same issue of being logged out when attempting to access the Messenger app. Similarly, Threads users are encountering error messages indicating, “Something went wrong, please try again later.”
Such extensive issues with Meta apps are uncommon, and it’s anticipated that the technical team is working fervently to rectify the glitch promptly. Currently, the root cause of the problem remains unidentified, and users await further information regarding the restoration of account access.
