Connectivity Issues Reported on Facebook and Instagram
In recent hours, thousands of users have reported experiencing connectivity issues with Facebook and other platforms owned by Meta, such as Instagram and Messenger. The outage monitoring service Downdetector has recorded a significant number of these reports, indicating that the problems are widespread, affecting users both in Greece and internationally.
In Greece, the majority of reports have come from major cities, including Athens, Thessaloniki, and Volos. Users have reported difficulties in accessing their accounts, posting content, and using messaging services. The issues seem to have peaked at a certain point before gradually subsiding, as shown by real-time monitoring data from Downdetector.
Despite the widespread nature of the outage, Meta has not yet provided any official explanation or statement regarding the cause of the connectivity issues. This has left many users in the dark, speculating about potential reasons ranging from technical glitches to server overloads.
Such outages can have significant impacts, especially considering the reliance on these platforms for communication, business, and social interaction. Users are hopeful for a swift resolution and an explanation from Meta to address the disruption and prevent future occurrences.
As the situation develops, users are advised to monitor official channels for updates from Meta and to report any ongoing issues to help with the troubleshooting process. In the meantime, patience and alternative communication methods may be necessary until full functionality is restored.
