Whatsapp is down and users across India are reporting massive outage on mobile and as well as web. The Meta-owned instant messaging platform is not working on the mobile app, desktop, or even the Web. Downdetector reports that the issue is not only restricted to India but is affecting users globally. Most reports were about messages not going through while others reported server disconnection and the app crashing altogether. The BBC reported that the messaging service is down for users across the UK as well. Social media users from other countries also posted about not being able to send messages. A meme fest with the hashtag #WhatsAppDown began on Twitter and other platforms. A spokesperson of Meta, the company that owns Facebook and Instagram besides WhatsApp 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”.
