We’re aware that a technical issue is impacting some users’ ability to access our apps. We’re working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and apologize for any inconvenience.December 11, 2024

Meta has not posted on its official X account since October 7th.

Today, possibly due to the outages, the account posted that the company is aware of the interruption and that they are working on the issue.

Of course, responses to the tweet are roasting the company some cheekily finding it ironic that Meta had to use a competitor to post about the issues.
