Update at 11 pm IST: Instagram, Facebook, and Threads services are back online. 

Several Instagram users are reporting an outage, and Downdetector, the website tracking real-time issues and outages, confirms it. Additionally, Meta’s Facebook services also seem to be down with several users reporting issues to log-in. Notably, Threads was also down at the same time. 

Facebook shows a “password that you’ve entered is incorrect” message when trying to log in

At the time of writing this story, Downdetector had over 29,000 people reporting issues with Instagram, while about 16,000 users reported similar problems with Facebook on the platform. Some of our team members tried opening Facebook on app and on browser but all of us were logged out.

As always, with Instagram and Facebook services down, users took to X to share memes and #instagramdown and #facebookdown hashtags are now trending.
