WhatsApp Suffering Outage Problem on New Year's Eve
This was the first time i faced the problem with WhatsApp. I did faced it before but this time it was official problem. Last night many of them were facing problem with WhatsApp for sending and receiving the messages. Users across the world reported issues connecting to WhatsApp on New Year's Eve, with services impacted for several hours before normalcy was restored. I thought there might be some problem with the network due to new year eve, But while going through Twitter, i saw lots of tweets blaming WhatsApp for poor service.
After searching internet i found this, "Earlier today, some people had trouble accessing WhatsApp. We investigated the problem and have restored access for everyone. We apologize for the inconvenience and wish everyone a happy new year," a WhatsApp spokesperson told Gadgets 360.
The messaging and voice calling client seemed to be having issues sending and receiving messages on both Android and iOS. Gadgets 360 was able to independently confirm the issue. DownDetector, a real time services outage monitor, also reported multiple issues.
Around 10pm IST on Thursday, several users started to note that they weren't being able to send or receive messages or make calls via WhatsApp. It is not known what caused the problems, though it could just be a massive spike in traffic on New Year's Eve, traditionally a day of record traffic for the app. The WhatsApp Status Twitter handle was silent on the downtime.
It is worth noting that not everyone faced the issue, though those who're on the receiving end weren't too pleased about it. Were you the one who faced the problem? If yes do mention in the comment section about what you feel for it.
Cheers!!!
