Real-time status and problems for Whatsapp. Is the app not working? Can't send or read messages? Here you see what is going on.
downdetector.comI don’t have live access to the latest outage data right this moment. Here’s the most recent general picture and how you can verify it quickly.
What’s likely happening
- WhatsApp Web outages have occurred globally in the past, typically due to server issues or maintenance, affecting loading, login, and message delivery. Some incidents have been regional while others were worldwide. These events usually get resolved within a few hours once the underlying issue is fixed.[3][5][7]
How you can check right now
- Downdetector: Check the live status graph and user-reported issues for WhatsApp Web. If there’s a spike, it often indicates a current outage.[7]
- WhatsApp official channels: Look for any posted statements from Meta/WhatsApp on X (formerly Twitter) or the WhatsApp help center about ongoing outages or maintenance.[5]
- Alternative status verifications: If you’re in a region with ongoing issues, you may see regional reports on major tech news outlets or local outlets reporting outages.[4][6]
What you can try to troubleshoot (quick, low-friction steps)
- Refresh the page, restart the browser, or try a different browser.
- Clear cache and cookies, then re-scan the QR code to re-link WhatsApp Web.
- Check your internet connection and VPNs if you use one.
- If the issue appears server-side, try again after a short while; outages often get resolved within a few hours. [general best-practice]
