Hello everyone, Yesterday night WhatsApp And other Meta services get down
WhatsApp experienced a global outage, impacting its 2 billion users worldwide.
Users encountered difficulties connecting to the messaging service, with the platform remaining stuck on "connecting" for many.
Although users could still send messages, they weren't delivered until WhatsApp resumed normal operation.
Downdetector recorded over 17,000 incidents of users encountering issues with WhatsApp.Specifically, more than 30,000 users in India, over 67,000 in the United Kingdom, and 95,000 in Brazil reported problems.
Meta's business APIs status page indicated an outage impacting services connecting to WhatsApp, Messenger, and Instagram
.Other Meta services such as Facebook, Instagram, and Threads also experienced disruptions but have since returned to consistent functionality.
This WhatsApp outage follows a recent Meta outage that affected Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Threads, lasting approximately two hours, with WhatsApp remaining unaffected.
WhatsApp outages are infrequent, with the last major outage occurring in 2022, when the service was offline for two hours.
