IF you are having problems with your Facebook or Instagram accounts, don’t panic! There have been widespread reports today (Friday, 12 June 2026) of problems affecting Facebook and other Meta services.
Reports from multiple news outlets and outage trackers indicate that users experienced issues such as:
• Being unexpectedly logged out of Facebook
• Login failures when trying to sign back in
• Blank or empty feeds
• “Something went wrong”, “Query Error”, and similar error messages
• Problems with Facebook Messenger and Instagram at the same time
The disruption appears to have been global, with users reporting issues across North America, Europe, Asia, and the UK. Downdetector and other monitoring services showed large spikes in outage reports during the day.
Meta has acknowledged the problem and said it was working on restoring services, although the company had not yet provided a detailed cause when the reports were published.
In the UK specifically, users reported Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram all being affected, with many mentioning login issues, missing feeds, and inability to post comments.
If you’re seeing glitches right now, it’s likely related to today’s broader Meta outage rather than a problem with your device or account.
