According to the outage monitoring service, the service interruption in India started around 8. 30 pm.

At least 14,857 users flagged difficulty in using Facebook and 32,518 users in using Instagram, according to the website.

The DownDetector map showed outages being experienced in cities of Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and many others.
