WhatsApp, the popular instant communication app owned by Meta that is used by many for quick texting is down.
WhatsApp users in some parts of the world, including Zimbabwe, are currently unable to send and receive messages.
It currently seems impossible to send a message on WhatsApp groups, but personal chats also seem to be largely affected.
Outage detection website DownDetector confirms that WhatsApp is not working for thousands of users.
WhatsApp Web also appears to be affected by the outage, and we can confirm that the app’s web client is simply not connecting anymore.
WhatsApp Web is also not working, as people continue to wait for a fix for the outage.
WhatsApp is yet to share an official statement on the matter.
