Is WhatsApp down? That was the question many users across regions were asking.

If you are experiencing glitches in WhatsApp at the time and wondering whether it is your phone or internet connection, it is not. WhatsApp itself is the problem as users are unable to send or receive messages or app is crashing.

According to downdetector.com, users were reporting problems across different regions. The image below illustrates a messaging outage; it does not reproduce the original regional map. There were no comments from the Facebook owned company WhatsApp about the outage when this report was written.
