Many WhatsApp users reported facing issues with their chats globally. Not only smartphone users but even WhatsApp web and WhatsApp desktop apps were also down. It’s not clear how much time it will take WhatsApp to return to normalcy.
In an internal memo by Zee media limited to its staff it read that Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp and Facebook, said that they are working to resolve the issue. “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,” said a Meta Spokesperson.
It’s been over one hour since the first problem was detected on WhatsApp. Users from countries like Nigeria, UK, Australia, Germany, South Africa, India & Pakistan aren’t able to send or receive messages.
