Users started observing the issues while using WhatsApp at around 9.30 pm, and many complained that their accounts were offline.
After almost an hour of acknowledging the outage, the app fixed the issue and tweeted: “And we’re back. Happy chatting!”.
Several users took to Twitter to report about the issue, while some even asked Tesla CEO Elon Musk to buy WhatsApp.
One user wrote: “Elon Musk arriving at WhatsApp HQ tomorrow to buy it.” While one other said:”@elonmusk buy Whatsapp please.” Some of the other comments read: “Poor service!! How are we getting compensated for the time wasted???”; “Why is WhatsApp always down.”
