Instagram and Facebook Struggle with Access Issues!

Users are reporting difficulties logging into the app, with some experiencing issues when trying to post photos and stories. Problems have also been reported with refreshing the main feed and the direct message service. In addition, Facebook is currently inaccessible for many.
