Update: WhatsApp is back online after a 2-hour outage: Here's what the company has to say
WhatsApp appears to be having a downtime or congestion issue in select areas in India on the day after Diwali. This could be because of the Diwali greeting messages that billions of Indians must have sent to their loved ones yesterday through WhatsApp. Although, it is too early to put a pin on the cause of this snarl-up, we are seeing folks messaging us over Telegram asking if WhatsApp is indeed down. Also, a quick glance through Twitter timeline has brought up some interesting reactions to #WhatsAppDown.
But first, here is the Downdetector report:
