“We’re aware people are currently having trouble accessing our ‌services. We’re working on it,” ‌the company’s ‌spokesperson Andy ⁠Stone said in ⁠a post on X.

There were more than 62,000 ​reports ‌of issues with Facebook and more than 8,000 reports of issues ‌with Instagram as ​of 10:11 a.m. ET, according to ⁠Downdetector.com, which tracks outages by collating status reports ‌from a number of sources.
