Users in Catalonia, including Girona, reported problems with Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp on Friday afternoon, with the first reports appearing around 3.30pm, according to Downdetector.
The disruption affected logins and loading, which meant some people could not access feeds or send messages. If you depend on these apps for work, family contact or community groups, wait and check whether the problem is widespread before changing passwords or reinstalling anything.
What users reported
According to Downdetector, the main complaints were login failures and content loading problems. The tracker also showed incidents for WhatsApp during Friday lunchtime. Meta had not issued a public statement on the cause or given an expected time for service to return at the time of writing.
What to do next
If the apps are still failing, try again after a few minutes and check the official help pages before taking further action. For ongoing local coverage, see our news page, and for platform support, use the Facebook Help Centre and Instagram Help Centre.
For Catalonia-based users, the practical step is to wait for a confirmed update from Meta and avoid unnecessary account changes while the outage continues. At the time of writing, the cause remained unconfirmed and there was no public timetable for restoration.
