On Sunday, July 19, 2026, around 4:00 PM Manila time, users began reporting that the desktop versions of Facebook and Instagram were inaccessible, with many encountering error messages such as "Account Temporarily Unavailable" and "Sorry, something went wrong." The issue, according to TechPinas, affected web users while mobile apps continued to work.
The disruption appeared limited to Meta's web-based services, as smartphones remained functional, allowing users to browse, post, and message. Notably, Threads, another platform under Meta, continued to operate normally on both desktop and mobile, suggesting the problem was isolated to specific web services rather than the company's entire infrastructure.
As of 5:19 PM, Facebook on desktop had returned, while Instagram remained available only via mobile application as of 5:20 PM. TechPinas continues to track the situation as users await full restoration of both platforms.
