Stone acknowledged the outage just before 11 a.m. on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying "We're aware people are having trouble accessing our services. We are working on this now."

"A technical issue caused people to have difficulty accessing some of our services," Sonte subsequently stated on social media.
The Meta service interruption that occurred on Tuesday occurred less than two weeks after AT&T users had a prolonged countrywide outage.

Affected customers were given a $5 credit.
