(Reuters) – Facebook and Meta Platforms’ Instagram were largely restored to most users after an outage that affected thousands in the United States on Monday, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.com.

At its peak around 1:35 p.m. ET, there were more than 12,000 incidents of people reporting problems with Facebook and over 5,000 reports of problems with Instagram, according to Downdetector, which tracks outages by compiling status reports from a range of sources.

The number of outages has since dropped to about 450 on Instagram and 659 on Facebook, Downdetector showed as of 2:09 p.m. ET.

Downdetector’s numbers are based on user-submitted reports. The actual number of users affected may vary.

Meta Platforms did not respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Earlier this year, hundreds of thousands of Facebook and Instagram users worldwide were affected by an outage for more than two hours caused by a technical issue.

At the height of the outage, there were more than 550,000 reports of disruptions on Facebook and about 92,000 on Instagram, according to Downdetector.
