Many have taken to social media to complain that they are unable to send
or receive messages on the popular Meta-owned platform, according to Bloomberg.
Faith Reporters has noticed several people joining Telegram, another messaging application.
After opening the app, users have found that while they can still access
their conversations, the app is failing to deliver new messages, or send any
that they attempt to send.
A persistent message is showing for many users at the top of the app,
saying it is "connecting" to the server, but then appears to fail to
do so, leaving users unable to send or receive any messages.
According to the service status website Downdetector, users began reporting
issues with WhatsApp at just before 8am on Tuesday morning, with more than
12,000 reports of issues reported to the website by 8.30am.
WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging platforms in the UK and
around the world and is estimated to have more than two billion active users
globally.
The platform's parent company, Meta, which also owns Facebook and
Instagram, has not yet commented on the issue.
Faith Reporters is aware that this is the second time WhatsApp went down in
a period of one year.
There have been several warnings of cyberattacks in recent months but
none has commented that WhatsApp has been attacked.
