However, outages may have been experienced worldwide as the service tweeted from California that it was aware of “some issues” and it was “working to get things running smoothly again”.
“We’ll keep you updated and in the meantime, thanks for your patience,” it added.
Within an hour and a half of the problem being reported, the number of users experiencing a technical fault fell to 2,707, adaeventsnews gathered.
By 10.45pm, WhatsApp confirmed the issue had been resolved, tweeting: “And we’re back. Happy chatting.”

Both are owned by Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta Platforms.
