Thousands of users worldwide, including in Pakistan, reported disruptions on Meta platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, late last night.
According to Downdetector.com, a real-time platform outage tracker, nearly 1,000 users in Pakistan reported issues with Meta services around 11pm. Meanwhile, WhatsApp experienced disruptions with 2,259 complaints registered since 10:52pm. Instagram, also owned by Meta, recorded over 1,200 outage reports within the same timeframe.
Some Facebook and Instagram users took to the rival platform X to report encountering errors such as "something went wrong." Meta acknowledged the issue in a brief statement on Facebook, stating, "We’re working on getting this fixed as soon as we can."

WhatsApp addressed the problem on X, saying, "We’re aware of some issues accessing WhatsApp. We’re actively working on a solution and starting to see a return to normal for most people. We expect things to be back to normal shortly."
Earlier this year, a similar technical issue caused a prolonged outage, affecting hundreds of thousands of Facebook and Instagram users globally for more than two hours.
