Access problems on Instagram, YouTube, X, Facebook and WhatsApp: Did social media crash on September 8?

Social media problems marked the morning of Monday, September 8, 2025. Instagram, YouTube, X (Twitter), Facebook, and WhatsApp users experienced access issues starting at midnight.

Users reported delayed message delivery, feeds didn't refresh, and homepages didn't load. Message traffic delays were particularly pronounced on Instagram and WhatsApp.

So far, no official statement has been released by either platform. It's unclear whether the issue is global or specific to Türkiye.

Meanwhile, allegations of a "band throttling" practice have surfaced on social media. However, no official confirmation or statement has been made on the matter.

While people are wondering how long the access problem will last and what its source is, users are waiting for the problem to be resolved on different platforms.
