Widespread Facebook, Instagram outages lock users out of accounts Tuesday

A massive Facebook outage has locked out more than half a million users from their accounts Tuesday morning. At 10:19 a.m., there were at least 353,256 reported outages, according to downdetector.com, which allows users to report outages. As of 10:28 a.m., there were 566,750 reported outages. The real number of outages is likely much higher. Users are reporting that they've been logged out of their accounts and are getting a "session expired" message. Users are also reporting that they are unable to log back in to their accounts.
At 10:29 a.m., there were 91,548 reported outages on Instagram, according to downdetector.com.
The outage comes on Tuesday, a Primary Election Day for 16 states.
There are also reports of Instagram outages, according to downdetector.com. The real number of outages is likely much higher.
Both platforms are owned by Meta.

    So how would AT&T and T-Mobile and KZread be affected by this also because they also were not working when I woke up this morning for a good hour in Central Coast California. I could not use my AT&T or my T-Mobile Wi-Fi to log on to anything till 8:00 a.m. and then KZread started working and my AT&T and T-Mobile but still not able to log into Facebook at all and not able to refresh my Instagram.
