Facebook and Instagram users were experiencing widespread outages on Wednesday, according to a Meta spokesperson. The company said it was working to fix the issues "as quickly as possible."
"We're aware that some people are having trouble accessing Messenger, Workplace Chat and Instagram DMs," a spokesperson for Meta, the parent company of the social media platforms, said in a statement. "We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible and we apologize for any inconvenience."
Instagram also apologized for the inconvenience, saying it was "aware some of you are having trouble accessing our messaging apps at the moment" and was "working to fix things as quickly as possible."

It's an evocative idea that has long bedeviled scientists: a huge and mysterious planet is lurking in the darkness at the edge of our solar system, evading all our efforts to spot it. Some astronomers say the strange, clustered orbits of icy rocks beyond Neptune indicate that something big is out there, which they have dubbed "Planet Nine."
