Facebook, Messenger, Instagram down globally

In a major shock, Meta services Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram faced a global outage on Tuesday evening.

However, WhatsApp remained unaffected till the filing of this report around 10:20pm.

Users in Bangladesh reported that starting around 9:15pm, saying that they were unable to access Facebook and Messenger.

Once they try to log into their accounts, a message pops up, saying "session expired, please log in again".

"Facebook is down for required maintenance right now, but you should be able to get back on within a few minutes," Facebook shows when someone tries to log back in.

"I tried to log into my Facebook account at 9:30pm. I uninstalled it and installed it again. Still, I couldn‍‍`t get access to my account," Nusrat Jahan, a user from Mymensingh, told an English daily.

An official of Forethought PR, Meta‍‍`s official public relations agency in Bangladesh, said they have informed it to Meta and were trying to get a statement.

According to Downdetector, the problem is global.

"Both mobile and Website are logged out and I can‍‍`t get change my password. I thought I got hacked," a user wrote in Downdetector‍‍`s comment feed.

"Facebook is indeed down," another user wrote.
