Users of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp are reporting difficulties accessing the apps due to a mass global outage.
Meta, which owns the apps, said on X it is aware that a technical issue is impacting some users' ability to access the platforms.
It says it is working to restore normality.
According to outage-tracking site Downdetector, more than 22,000 people reported issues with Facebook on Wednesday evening and over 18,000 struggled to use WhatsApp.
Problems with the apps have been reported in the UK, parts of Europe, Asia, Australia, South America, and the US.
A variety of issues have been reported including not being able to use the apps at all or feeds not refreshing for certain users.
Meta's platforms are some of the most popular in the world.
Facebook has more than three billion active monthly users.
The biggest outage Meta experienced was in 2021, when founder Mark Zuckerberg apologised for the disruption caused.
On that occasion, Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram services went down for almost six hours.
