WhatsApp Down Worldwide
WhatsApp is experiencing severe outages for the service worldwide: the issue is server-side, so we have to wait for a fix remotely.
Several users on WhatsApp for Android, iOS, and Desktop, are unable to send messages: what’s happening?
Sending messages: it is no longer possible to send messages to one-to-one chats and group chats since they are not delivered to the server. You cannot even send a new status update to your contacts and sending a message to a broadcast list won’t work.
WhatsApp calling: it is not possible to place a voice or video call on WhatsApp during the outage.
Registration: it’s not possible to register a new WhatsApp account and you cannot log into WhatsApp by using an existing account.
Manage groups: it is not possible to join or exit WhatsApp groups. In addition, group admins cannot promote or demote other participants.
Update profile information: you cannot update your profile information such as your profile photo and about. It is not possible to change your phone number during the outage.
Update privacy settings: it is not possible to update your privacy settings for last seen, about, profile photo, who can add you to groups, and read receipts.
Update chat settings: you cannot enable disappearing messages for your chats and groups.
Update group settings: you cannot update group information such as group icon and name. As an admin, you cannot change group settings such as the ability to decide who can send messages to the group and who can edit group info. It is not even possible to exit groups.
Request account info: you cannot request your account info while WhatsApp is down. You can only export the previous archive if you’ve already downloaded it in the past.
Chat backup: you may be unable to back up your chat history on iCloud and Google Drive.
Unfortunately, we don’t have information on when this issue will be addressed by the server team. We will keep you up to date here and on Twitter.
