At time of this report, it is unclear what has caused the issue although the company has suffered outages before.

Few minutes ago, Whatsapp posted on its Twitter handle: “We’re aware that some people are experiencing issues with Whatsapp at the moment. We’re working to get things back to normal and will send an update here as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!”
