The app should soon begin functioning for users if it hasn’t already as WhatsApp services have been restored. WhatsApp is currently functional on WhatsApp Web, Android, and iOS apps. Although some users claim that services on WhatsApp Web is still not functioning, your phone app should be functional.
Many people use WhatsApp, a well-known messaging service owned by Meta, to send rapid texts, but earlier today, the program experienced a significant outage that lasted for about two hours. This prevented millions of WhatsApp users from sending or receiving messages globally.
Many people use WhatsApp Web, the app’s web client, on their desktops and laptops, and its services were also affected by the outage. However, they have since been restored. Anyone attempting to use the client during the outage encountered a connectivity problem.
Since the broader Meta outage on October 5 that affected millions of users over many hours before the services were restored, this was WhatsApp’s first significant outage.
The parent company of WhatsApp, Meta, acknowledged the issue and announced earlier today that a fix was being developed. A Meta representative said, “We’re aware that some people are currently having trouble sending messages and we’re working to restore WhatsApp for everyone as quickly as possible.” The reason for the outage is yet unclear, but once Meta or WhatsApp release additional details, we should know more.
