Having trouble sending messages on WhatsApp? Well, you are not alone. The Meta-owned messaging app is facing a massive outage, affecting a large portion of its over 2 billion user base worldwide. Here's a look at all the details and when WhatsApp will work again.

According to several users, WhatsApp stopped working around 12:45 PM IST (or 12:25 PM PST) for many around the world. DownDetector has seen a massive increase in the number of complaints recently. Users have since taken to social media to discuss the outage, and are unable to send messages, update their profiles or sign up for new accounts. We have independently verified these claims and were unable to share messages or images on WhatsApp.

WhatsApp has been facing this widespread outage for over an hour, and WABetaInfo reports that the problem is server-side. Meta has confirmed to TechCrunch that they are aware of the outage. In an official statement, it said: "We are aware that some people are currently having problems sending messages and we are working to restore WhatsApp for everyone as quickly as possible."

At this time, we have no concrete information as to when WhatsApp services will be restored. So stay tuned for more updates and check out some great WhatsApp alternatives in the meantime. Also, read about the best secure messaging apps via the linked article.
