BREAKING: Users Report Major WhatsApp Outage

Thousands of users around the world are currently experiencing a WhatsApp outage, with the popular messaging app suddenly going offline this Thursday. Reports indicate widespread issues including messages not being sent or received, and calls failing to connect.

The problems began around 2:00 PM (local time), according to data from social media platforms and tracking websites like DownDetector. A significant spike in outage reports suggests the issue is affecting users globally.

While Meta, the parent company of WhatsApp, has yet to issue an official statement, the situation appears to be under active investigation. In previous outages, services were typically restored within a few hours.

Social media, particularly X (formerly Twitter), is flooded with posts under trending hashtags like #WhatsAppDown and #WhatsAppOutage, as users seek answers and share their frustration.

At the moment, users are advised to stay patient and await updates from Meta’s official channels.

This WhatsApp outage is the latest in a series of technical difficulties faced by major tech platforms in recent months.
