The instant messaging app WhatsApp, which went down for almost two hours on Tuesday, is now restored for Android and iOS users to send and receive messages on the well-known app.
Users of the voice and instant messaging service owned by Meta have complained that the outage prevented them from sending both group and private messages. The outage also affected users of WhatsApp online. Earlier, Meta had apologised for the issue and stated that it was working to find a solution.
“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,” a Meta spokesperson said.
Trackers state that numerous other nations have also reported the problem.
Many users have reported troubles using WhatsApp since 3:17 AM EDT (12:30 PM IST), according to DownDetector, a website that tracks outages and other issues.
According to Downdetector’s heat map, affected areas include, among other places, Nagpur and Lucknow, in addition to well-known cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Chennai, and Hyderabad.
