Thousands of social media users are reporting they are unable to access their Facebook account this morning. The Meta site appears to have gone down, with people venting online – on other platforms – about their frustration.
According to Downdetector, thousands of customers are reporting issues across the platform. As of 9am on Sunday, July 19, the website had the most issues reported with 62 per cent logging a complaint.
Problems with logging in came to a lesser 22 per cent while difficulty with the Feed and Timeline came in at a meagre eight per cent – making it clear that even getting into your account is proving most troublesome for most.
Issues started being logged around 8.30am and started climbing rapidly as the morning progressed.
When trying to log in to Facebook on a desktop, users are met with a message that says: “Account Temporarily Unavailable. Your account is currently unavailable due to a site issue. We expect this to be resolved shortly. Please try again in a few minutes.”
Account holders throughout the UK seem to be experiencing issues but the hotspots are in Glasgow and London. Cities like Birmingham, Hull, and Brighton down south are being plagued, while Scotland remains mostly clear.
Frustrated customers have been posting online about the situation. One posted on X: “I’m getting this error message on Facebook in both Safari and Chrome on my laptop. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?”

Another complained: “Facebook is down. At least in the UK,” while another said: “My Facebook is broken. I don’t know if I’ve been banned, or if Facebook itself is down.”
