The picture-sharing website Instagram was also unavailable to users, as they kept getting the error message “Something went wrong” whenever they attempted to visit the website.
The application programming interface for WhatsApp Business was also having problems, according to Meta’s status dashboard. We’re aware that some users are encountering difficulties using our services. A representative for Meta, Andy Stone, wrote on X, “We are working on this right now.
