WhatsApp is now back online after facing a global outage.
Some WhatsApp users were unable to use the platform on their mobile and desktop devices, while some were experiencing issues with sending and downloading media, reports WABetaInfo.
According to the report, the outage started on Monday and was rectified sometime later.
Taking to Twitter several users reported the outage.
While one user asked, “Is WhatsApp down, or is it just me?” another posted, “#WhatsApp down? Hello Twitter.”
According to the outage monitor website DownDetector, 76 percent of people had reported problems while using the website, 17 percent while using the application, and 7 percent while sending messages.
The company has not yet released any official statement or provided any information on the reasons behind the issue.
In January this year, the messaging platform WhatsApp faced a server-side issue, making it impossible to update the privacy setting “who can see when I’m online,” globally on iOS.
The platform October last year also suffered a global outage, including in India, that lasted for over two hours.
