WhatsApp services have been restored, and the app should be operational again shortly if it hasn't already. WhatsApp is now accessible via the Android and iOS applications, as well as WhatsApp Web. It should be noted that some users complain that services are still unavailable on WhatsApp Web, but your phone app should be operational.
WhatsApp, the famous instant messaging program owned by Meta and used by millions for rapid texting, experienced a significant outage earlier today, with the app going down for over two hours. As a result, millions of WhatsApp users around the world were unable to send or receive messages.
WhatsApp Web, the app's web version that many people use on their desktops and laptops, was also affected by the outage, however, services for the web client have been restored as well. Anyone attempting to use the client during the outage encountered the following error.
This was WhatsApp's first big outage since the wider Meta outage on October 5, which brought down WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook simultaneously, affecting millions of users for many hours until the services were restored.
WhatsApp's parent company, Meta, confirmed the outage and said it was working on a fix early today. "We are aware that some individuals are now experiencing difficulties sending messages, and we are striving to restore WhatsApp for everyone as soon as possible," a Meta spokeswoman told indianexpress.com. The source of the outage is unknown, however, we should know more whenever Meta or WhatsApp releases additional details.
