Facebook down: Some users unable to log in to social network amid ‘unexpected errors’
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Some Facebook users have been kicked out of the site and are unable to get logged back in.
The problems do not appear to be a part of the kind of widespread outage that Facebook occasionally suffers. Last year, for instance, Meta products including Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp were all hit by a long, hours-long outage, that caused problems right across the world.
The latest issues are more sporadic and specific. Other Meta websites appear to be working as normal, and the login issues are only affecting some people on the site.
For those hit by the problems, however, the issue means that they are unable to get online at all.
Instead, they are hit only by a warning message indicating that an “unexpected error” has occurred.
“Login error: an unexpected error occurred,” it read. “Please try logging in again.”
Logging in repeatedly did not appear to fix the issue, however.
Meta, and Facebook, are yet to comment on the issue.
