A popular website, ‘Downdetactor’ which tracks websites outages from across the globe has detailed a massive hike of over 11,000 reports about ‘WhatsApp Being Down’ in less than 30 minutes and overall 85 per cent people reported problems while messaging, 11 per cent while using the app, and 3 per cent while using the website.
In India, the affected cities included Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, and Lucknow, but users from the US, Germany, South Africa, Bahrain, Bangladesh and several other countries also complained on the platform that the service is currently disturbed and not working smoothly.
