WhatsApp not working on your iPhone or Android smartphone? Don’t worry – there’s nothing wrong with your device.
Thousands of WhatsApp users across the UK have been left without access to the popular messaging app. The problems have been caused by a vast WhatsApp outage, which seems to have impacted people worldwide. Users across the UK can no longer send or receive text messages, pictures, documents, and videos. Voice and video calls have also been impacted by the gargantuan outage, which has taken down a number of other popular Facebook-owned services, including Instagram and the main Facebook social media app. The issues, which have yet to be acknowledged by WhatsApp’s parent company Facebook, have hit users on iPhone, Android and using the WhatsApp Desktop service.
According to independent service DownDetector, which monitors the performance of online services by tracking complaints from customers across social media, has revealed the sheer scale of the ongoing outage. DownDetector’s latest figures reveal that more than 40,000 WhatsApp users have bemoaned issues with the messaging app every minute. That vast scale is hardly surprising, after all, WhatsApp is the most popular messaging service on the planet with more than two billion users worldwide each month.
Thousands of WhatsApp users have flooded social media to complain about the ongoing outage, which started around 4.55pm BST. Thousands of WhatsApp fans are posting tweets to check whether the issues are worldwide …or a specific issue impacting their individual device. Others have speculated about what could have caused three of Facebook’s biggest brands – WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram – to go offline at the same time. None of these theories, from human error to a co-ordinated cyber attack, have been confirmed.
