Meta Outage: Meta and social media platforms Facebook and Instagram experienced technical issues on Tuesday night, resulting in users being logged out of their accounts and the feed not refreshing. Following this, users resorted to enjoying Facebook and Instagram on alternative platforms, including X. Numerous notable personalities, such as Elon Musk, expressed amusement at the temporary stall of Facebook and Instagram on social media X.
In response to the incident, Anupam Mittal, the owner of Shaadi.com, humorously suggested on Facebook and Instagram that Mark Zuckerberg might be experiencing a hangover and needs to wake up.
