Update March 5, 9:02am PDT: Looks like Facebook and Instagram are working again…as you were.
It’s not just you—Facebook and Instagram are down. What a way to start your Tuesday.
If you’re trying to log into Facebook, you get an error message that reads, “the password you’ve entered is incorrect”, while Instagram is also showing an error that says “something went wrong.”
You can see the Instagram error message below. It also says, “there’s an issue and the page could not be loaded.”

Meta is likely on top of fixing this downtime for Facebook and Instagram, so expect both apps to be back up and running, shortly. In the meantime—you’re going to be okay.
