If you were kicked out of your Facebook or Instagram account while scrolling earlier Tuesday, you weren’t alone.

Meta’s social media platforms had problems Tuesday morning, with Instagram, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, and Threads pulling up “failure to load” error pages.

DownDetector reported over 461,000 outages at 10:37 a.m. at the outage’s peak. Instagram also had over 70,000 reported outages at the peak.

Apps were also affected, which refused to reload or kicked out users entirely.

“We’re aware people are having trouble accessing our services,” said Andy Stone, a communications representative for Meta. “We are working on this now.”

All platforms appear to be fully functional now, although some users say they are having issues with logging back in due to the two-factor login protocol.
