Meta global crash: WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook stop working on millions of devices around the world

The digital ecosystem managed by the multinational Meta is currently experiencing a severe technical collapse that prevents countless individuals from sending messages or browsing the pages of WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook. Based on live data collected by the platform DownDetector (specialized in monitoring network service interruptions), the massive peak of complaints about this worrying situation began to be registered at exactly sixteen hours in Spanish peninsular time.

A problem with impact on a planetary scale

The tremendous magnitude of this technological incident transcends national borders, spreading rapidly throughout various regions of the planet without the creative company having yet issued a formal clarification on the origin of the failure.

Until this very moment, the senior managers of the IT structure maintain an absolute institutional silence regarding the exact causes that have caused this historic “global crash” in its international servers. The absolute lack of technical indications on the part of the developers keeps in complete uncertainty to a gigantic community of users who impatiently await the complete restoration of their digital profiles.

Meta has not yet given an explanation as to the cause of this incident, but has stated through a post on X in the account of its communications manager that: “We are aware that users are currently having problems accessing our services. We are working on it.”

Just an hour and a half after making his first statement, Andy Stone posted again on his account that “The systems are being fixed, although it will take a little time to return to absolute normality.”
