The network outage problem across Google and Meta apps was reported around 9 pm IST, according to social media network outage tracker platform Down Detector.

“I tried it several times. But I was unable to log in to my Instagram and Facebook accounts. I doubt if it’s a global cyber attack,” Roboz Dotin Tech CEO Milind Raj told PTI.

“We’re aware people are having trouble accessing our services. We are working on this now,” Meta, Communications Director, Andy Stone said.
