Two famous social media platforms, Instagram and Facebook stopped functioning on Tuesday afternoon.

The two apps are owned by Meta, an American company offering online social networking services.

It was observed that the two apps stopped working around 3:30 p.m. Nigerian time.

Facebook logged out users from their accounts, leaving them unable to get back in. On Instagram, some users couldn’t refresh their feeds.

Confirming the outage on his verified X handle, Meta communications head Andy Stone, said “We’re aware people are having trouble accessing our services. We are working on this now.”

Instagram allows users to create and share photos, stories, and videos with their friends and followers.

Many users took to X, a microblogging and social networking platform, to share their experiences.

“It is so hilarious that you’re telling us through another platform—that is your competitor and it’s destroying meta,” X user, Cool Christian Engineer wrote.

Another X user, Evan said “For a minute I thought it was me getting banned or something.”

The cause of the glitch was yet to be ascertained as of press time.
