Facebook-Instagram Down | Facebook and Instagram were down for more than two hours, Mark Zuckerberg lost crores of rupees, the income graph came down with a bang!

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg lost nearly $3 billion in a day after the company’s key platforms Facebook and Instagram suffered a global outage. Zuckerberg’s net worth fell by $2.79 billion in a day to $176 billion on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, but he retained his position as the world’s fourth-richest person.

After the hour-long global outage, Meta shares fell 1.6 percent, leading to a decline in Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth. Meta shares closed at $490.22 per share in the overnight trading session on Wall Street. Users of Facebook, Instagram and Threads faced difficulties in accessing the social media platforms on Tuesday night. Additionally, Meta Quest users faced problems logging into their headsets. Many YouTube users also mentioned facing an error while using the platform. The outage continued for about an hour before all applications returned to normal functionality.

During the outage, users reported experiencing “failure to load” error pages on both Instagram and Facebook. Some Instagram users noted that they could still view old stories despite the error. However, many Facebook accounts were automatically logged out during the outage.

During the outage, social media platform X was flooded with posts from affected individuals. X boss Elon Musk also mocked rival Meta following the closure of its flagship platform. “If you’re reading this post, it’s because our servers are down,” Musk said in a post on X.
