It’s currently unclear the cause of the issues, but it seems outage reports started at 10:56 AM ET.

One user on Downdetector notes that they “cannot send messages,” presumably on Messenger. Another notes that conversations won’t load.

Instagram outage reports include DM issues and issues loading the main feed.

Twitter users are also reporting issues with Messenger and more

As usual, when websites are down, people flock to Twitter to report it. This case is no different.
