New Delhi: Meta-owned WhatsApp, after facing the longest-ever global outage that lasted for over two hours on Tuesday, was restored at around 2:15 pm in India. Down Detector noticed high "problem reports" since 12.07 pm. It had listed thousands of complaints by 1 pm, most of them about messages not going through. Some users had even reported server disconnection and the app crashing.
"We're aware that some people are currently having trouble sending messages and we're working to restore WhatsApp for everyone as quickly as possible," a Meta spokesperson said. It was not immediately clear whether the outage was reported in India or elsewhere as well. Whatsapp users from Italy and Turkey also faced similar issues.
