LOS ANGELES - Social media apps of Meta Platforms were down for thousands of users in the United States on Wednesday, according to media reports.

More than 18,000 Instagram users reported issues with accessing the app and about 13,000 incidents were reported for the Facebook app, reported Xinhua.

Many users have taken to Twitter to voice their concerns and anger over the outage.
