FACEBOOK and Instagram have crashed for tens of thousands of users in a mysterious outage.
Online outage tracker Down Detector has logged thousands of complaints from around the UK.
Others are complaining that Whatsapp – also owned by Meta – is not working on their laptops.
It’s not clear at this stage why the social media apps aren’t working.
Facebook’s website currently says: “This site can’t be reached”.
The Down Detector site showed a spike in reports at around 8pm this evening.
Angry users have also complained on Twitter.
One person wrote: “Ughhh suppose I’ll scroll through Twitter since Facebook and Instagram are down.”

Another joked: “Elon Musk buys Twitter and Facebook and WhatsApp goes down…”
A third said: “Just spent 10 minutes turning my wifi on and off just to realise that Facebook and Instagram are down.”
