WhatsApp services have been restored on both mobile app and desktop platforms after the instant messaging service faced the longest outage this year. The Meta-owned instant messaging platform was not working on the mobile app, desktop, or even the Web. Downdetector showed that over 20,000 users reported on the platform that WhatsApp was down, with the outage seemingly beginning at around 12pm IST. Going by reports on Downdetector, the issue was not only restricted to India but was affecting users globally. This was the first major WhatsApp outage this year. The service saw its biggest outage to date in October 2021, when WhatsApp (as well as other Meta apps such as Instagram or Facebook) was down for nearly six hours.
