Users of popular social media – Facebook and Instagram have lamented the shutdown of the services on Tuesday.

A check by our correspondent on multiple Instagram and Facebook accounts indicates users of the account could not access their accounts.

While Facebook requires existing users to login to their accounts, Instagram account profiles of users and homepage could not be refreshed.

This resulted in users of the social interaction platforms going on X to lament the shutdown of the services.

An X user named Peace Ighodaro (@peace_igho) tweeted, “Who logged us out of Facebook ooo”

A New York-based user, Lidia Curanaj (@LidiaNews), tweeted “Facebook and Instagram down” while a social media influencer in the Philippines, @RealRazziebinx, tweeted, “Is it just me or Facebook logged me out? I guess the world is ending.. see you guys.”

However, service was being restored without detailed explanation. This isn’t the first time this is happening.
