WhatsApp has suffered on the morning of this Tuesday, October 25, a drop that is affecting users globally. From 9:00 a.m., according to the specialized platform Downdetector, users are having problems sending messages through group chats.
Los individual chatsbetween only two contacts, are also causing problems.
In principle, according to the tests carried out by this newspaper, they continued to function normally during the first minutes after the start of the failure, although the messages, when received by the user, appeared with a single ‘tick’ instead of two, as usual in Meta owned app.
Around 9.30, the failure has begun to be widespread. At this time, if you are a WhatsApp user, it is most likely that, if you enter the application, you will not be able to send text messages or any type of file.
Instead, you will find that the application is, constantly trying to connect. That is, the fall is complete.
ABC has contacted Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company, to find out the status of the ‘app’ and the reason for the failure. For now, has not received a response from the technology.
The app bug comes a year after WhatsApp, along with Instagram and Facebook, all owned by the same company, were down for nearly six hours.
On this occasion, it seems that the other two star tools of the empire of Mark Zuckerbergcurrently more focused on the creation of the metaverse than anything else, are not registering any kind of problem.
Normally, when WhatsApp, which has over 2 billion users at a global level, it suffers from punctual failures -which happens very occasionally- they usually do not last more than an hour.
As usual when WhatsApp suffers a crash, Twitter, that social network that, theoretically, will become part of Elon Musk’s empire in the coming days, begins to fill with memes and jokes related to the ruling.
