WhatsApp, a messaging platform owned by Meta, experienced a brief outage lasting approximately 30 minutes, during which users were unable to send or receive messages.
However, the service has now been fully restored, bringing relief to affected users.
The outage occurred across both the mobile app version and the web version of WhatsApp.
Error messages and a continuous loading screen frustrated users attempting to access the service during this period.
Many initially mistook the issue for a problem with their internet connection.
DailyNews 24 observes that reports from Downdetector, a platform that tracks service outages, indicate that the disruption lasted for few minutes.
