Popular messaging app WhatsApp stopped working for many users across the world, including in India as sending or receiving text and videos snagged.
Meta Platforms, which owns WhatsApp, said it is working to restore services.
The services were down for over an hour now and Meta did not offer a timeline by when they will be restored.
“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,” Meta company spokesperson said in a statement.
