WhatsApp faced a major outage with over 68,000 issues reported globally, particularly in the UK and the US. Users primarily struggled with sending messages and server connections, while the app's performance was also criticized. Meta, which owns WhatsApp, has not commented on the disruptions. Social media platforms, especially X, saw an influx of users discussing the outage, with many humorously indicating a collective confusion over the app's reliability. This incident follows a previous major outage that negatively impacted Meta's revenue due to technical glitches.
'Me running to X to see if WhatsApp is actually down or it's my network,' one user tweeted alongside a GIF of people rushing down an escalator.
No need to switch flight mode on and off, whatsapp is indeed down.'
'WhatsApp is down, and now X is the new customer care center. Everyone's here like: "Is it just me?" "Is it my WiFi?" "Did I forget to pay my internet bill?" 'No mate, we're all in this together refreshing X like it's a WhatsApp alternative!'
