Prominent online tool Down Detector started noticing unusually high “problem reports” at 12.07 pm, and had listed thousands of such reports by 1 pm in India, WhatsApp’s biggest market by user base. Most reports were about messages not going through, at 69 per cent, while others reported server disconnection and the app crashing altogether, according to NDTV.
It’s the first major WhatsApp outage since last year.
After the portal posted news on its portal, many users said they were able to send messages and other information and WhatsApp is back.
