Meta’s flagship social network experienced disruptions on June 12, 2026, leaving many users unable to access their accounts.

Facebook ve Messenger users across multiple regions reported widespread service disruptions on Friday, June 12, as thousands encountered login problems, inaccessible feeds, and error messages while trying to use the platform.

According to outage-tracking services, reports of Facebook issues began rising sharply during the morning hours and continued throughout the day. Many affected users said they were unable to log in, refresh their news feeds, access profiles, or use certain features normally available on the platform.

The outage quickly became a trending topic on other social networks as users sought confirmation that the issue was not isolated to their own accounts. Some reported seeing messages indicating that their accounts were temporarily unavailable, while others experienced endless loading screens or unexpected logouts.

Data from independent outage monitoring platforms showed thousands of incident reports within a short period, suggesting the disruption was affecting users on a broad scale rather than being limited to a specific region or device type.

As of publication, Meta had not publicly disclosed the exact cause of the outage. The company also had not provided an estimated timeline for complete service restoration. However, reports indicated that some users were gradually regaining access as the day progressed.

While Facebook appeared to be the primary platform affected, some users also reported intermittent issues with other Meta-owned services, including Instagram, though the impact appeared to vary by region.

This is not the first time Facebook has experienced a significant outage. Large-scale disruptions have periodically affected Meta’s services over the years, often resulting from infrastructure, networking, or configuration-related issues. Earlier outages have temporarily impacted millions of users worldwide before normal operations were restored.

For users encountering problems, experts generally recommend avoiding repeated password resets until Meta confirms the nature of the issue. In many cases during platform-wide outages, account credentials remain unaffected, and service is restored automatically once backend systems recover.

Update: Users are advised to check official Meta service channels and status pages for updates as the company investigates the disruption.
