WhatsApp Outage: WhatsApp services restored after major outage

Update: WhatsApp services are back online and the app should start working for users soon if it hasn’t already. WhatsApp is now working for the Android and iOS apps as well as via WhatsApp Web. Note that some users report that services are still not working on WhatsApp Web, but your phone app should be up and running.

WhatsApp, the popular instant communication app owned by Meta that is used by many for quick texting faced a major outage earlier this week, when the app went down for almost two hours. This left millions of WhatsApp users across the globe unable to send or receive messages.
