June 12 (Reuters) - ⁠Facebook-parent Meta said on Friday ⁠that users were having ‌trouble accessing the social media company's services.

"We're aware people are currently having trouble ​accessing our services. We're ⁠working on ⁠it," the company's spokesperson Andy Stone ⁠said ‌in a post on X.

There were more ⁠than 62,000 reports of issues with ​Facebook ‌and more than 8,000 reports of ⁠issues ​with Instagram as of 10:11 a.m. ET, according to Downdetector.com, ⁠which tracks outages by ​collating status reports from a number of sources.
