According to TechPinas, users began encountering error messages such as 'Account Temporarily Unavailable' on the desktop versions of Facebook and Instagram at around 4:00 PM Manila time on Sunday, July 19, 2026. The mobile apps for both platforms continued working normally.
Unlike Facebook and Instagram, Meta's Threads remained fully accessible on both desktop and mobile, suggesting the outage was limited to specific web services rather than the company's entire infrastructure. Many users took to online communities to confirm whether the problem was a widespread outage or an account-specific issue.
By 5:19 PM, Facebook's desktop version had resumed normal operation, but Instagram remained unavailable on desktop as of 5:23 PM, according to the report. The mobile versions of both apps continued to function throughout the incident.
