With two billion users worldwide, the instant messaging service WhatsApp is currently experiencing a global outage, causing disruptions in sending and receiving messages. The issue arose around 9 pm, with many users unable to connect to the service.
Service Disruption Across Regions
WhatsApp lacks a dedicated page to check the functionality status, leaving users uncertain about the extent of the outage. Although the application allows message sending, delivery to recipients remains stalled until service restoration. Reports of connectivity issues have surfaced from various parts of the world, including the USA and Europe.
Challenges Across Meta Services
Comparatively, support pages for other Meta services like Facebook, Instagram, and Threads appear to be functioning normally, notes NIX Solutions. However, users worldwide have encountered difficulties accessing recent messages and creating posts across these platforms. This comes shortly after a significant two-hour outage affecting Meta services such as Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Threads, which conspicuously spared WhatsApp. The current outage suggests a shift in the status quo.
As users navigate through this unexpected disruption, we’ll keep you updated on any developments regarding the restoration of WhatsApp services. Stay tuned for further information.
