WhatsApp Got a Problem-Meta is Trying to Fix

According to hundreds of thousands of users, WhatsApp has been experiencing a global outage for more than an hour. According to user reports, the outage started about 12.20 AM. The outage has been noticed, and WhatsApp claims it is working to fix it.

Users are unable to alter their profile information or privacy settings, send or receive new messages, or join up for WhatsApp, they claimed. Over 80,000 user complaints about the bug were made to DownDetector, a web site that monitors service performance, in the course of one hour.

Hundreds of thousands of users report that WhatsApp has been down globally for more than an hour. For the instant messaging and voice calling app, owned by Meta, which is used by more than 2 billion individuals and millions of businesses globally, this is one of the most serious and persistent issues.

According to WaBetaInfo, a well-known tracking service for WhatsApp, the problem is “server-side,” thus it can’t be resolved until Meta fixes it remotely.

Government officials, telecom service providers, and, of course, billions of individuals use WhatsApp, which has evolved into a crucial component of infrastructure in many regions. By 2020, the service had an industry-leading usage rate of more than 100 billion messages sent each day.

As of the beginning of 2016, 60 billion messages per day were sent using Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp combined. Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, stated in May 2020 that iMessage and FaceTime were experiencing record usage, but he did not provide any numbers. When Apple shared the data the prior time, it lagged well behind WhatsApp usage at the time (podcast). WeChat, which has more than 1 billion users overall, is also falling behind in terms of daily message volume.

WhatsApp users are experiencing a number of issues, including connection issues with the server and according to Meta, “They are trying to fix it”.

We hope “Meta” will solve the issue as soon as possible!
