Meta has announced a major maintenance activity scheduled to start at 1 AM on 11 December and continue until 1 PM on 12 December. This maintenance is expected to affect the performance of Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, and other Meta services, potentially causing slower load times, delays in message delivery, and intermittent service disruptions throughout the period.
Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited (PTCL), a leading internet service provider, has informed its customers about the upcoming maintenance through official communications. PTCL warned that access to Meta services may be affected even for users with stable internet connections, clarifying that the disruption is due to Meta’s planned technical work aimed at enhancing system reliability and overall performance. Experts have noted it is unusual for PTCL to be issuing these alerts on behalf of Meta, but the company appears to be acting as an intermediary to inform users.
Extended maintenance periods of this nature can impact business operations, particularly for companies that rely heavily on Meta platforms for communication, marketing, and customer engagement. Small and medium-sized enterprises may face challenges in real-time messaging, client interactions, and service delivery, highlighting the importance of planning around such scheduled disruptions. Users are advised to anticipate potential delays and adjust their operations accordingly during the maintenance window.
