Others complained that Whatsapp – also owned by Meta – was not working on their laptops.
Facebook’s website said: “This site can’t be reached.”
The Down Detector site showed a spike in reports at around 8pm this evening.
Angry users have also complained on Twitter.
One person wrote: “Ughhh suppose I’ll scroll through Twitter since Facebook and Instagram are down.”
Another joked: “Elon Musk buys Twitter and Facebook and WhatsApp goes down…”
A third said: “Just spent 10 minutes turning my wifi on and off just to realise that Facebook and Instagram are down.”
One Twitter user fumed: “Open my account for me, Facebook.
“Every account we open gets blocked without any reason… and you don’t have any support.
“What is this nonsense?”.
A spokesperson for Meta told The Sun: “Earlier today, a configuration change caused some people to have trouble accessing our products.
“We fixed the issue as quickly as possible for everyone who was impacted, and we apologize for any inconvenience.”
