Meta-owned Facebook, Messenger and Instagram experienced worldwide outages Tuesday, with more than half a million users unable to access the social media apps in one of the tech giant’s largest glitches in years.
Other major social media apps, including TikTok, Snapchat and Google’s YouTube video platform, also appeared to suffer service issues on a smaller scale, according to DownDetector, a site that tracks web outage reports.
