Meta companies — namely giants Instagram020 Archives Facebook, Threads, and WhatsApp — all appeared to have had issues and, in some cases, crashed for users on Wednesday.
Reports of problems with the major social and messaging platforms spiked on Down Detector — which, full disclosure, is owned by the same parent company as Mashable — around 1 p.m. EST. User generated reports on Down Detector showed all Facebook, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, and Threads all having a major spike in issues at the same time.
People posted on social media about the apps going down.

There wasn't an immediate confirmation of issues from Meta and the spike in reports did appear to be subsiding on Down Detector. As of about 1:41 p.m. EST I was able to load the major Meta apps and websites, so perhaps the issues were resolving as quickly as they appeared.
