[UPDATE] You’re Not Alone! WhatsApp Is Currently Down

[UPDATE | December 11, 2024, 11:00 AM PST] – WhatsApp has shared an official X post (or tweet) acknowledging the outage. They confirm that WhatsApp is down and add that it’s “actively working on a solution and starting to see a return for most people.”

We’re aware of some issues accessing WhatsApp. We’re actively working on a solution and starting to see a return to normal for most people. We expect things to be back to normal shortly.— WhatsApp (@WhatsApp) December 11, 2024

You are not the only one stuck on single ticks on WhatsApp! The messaging app is currently down and users are unable to send or receive messages. WhatsApp seems to be having an app outage on a global scale, as users from around the world are flocking to social media to check if that’s the case.

I checked on my Galaxy Z Fold 6, and I was unable to send messages. Whereas one of my friends on another Android phone was able to. So, it’s possible that WhatsApp is facing a partial outage. I’m on the case and checking with more of my colleagues globally to see the reach of the outage. Many users have also taken to Downdetector to report that the app is not functioning for them.

As it happens every time, users are taking a break from personal communication to talk about the app being down on another app – X. You can check out some of these X posts below:

It is.

WhatsApp is currently experiencing severe outages, with reports indicating that other Meta platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, are also reporting downtime. #whatsappdown— WABetaInfo (@WABetaInfo) December 11, 2024

Apart from WhatsApp, it seems like Meta’s other products, including Facebook, Instagram, and Threads also facing outages right now. So, if you’re facing issues with scrolling through Instagram reels or missing out on your friend’s wedding pictures, then again, you are not alone! X (formerly Twitter) is teeming with memes and posts about Facebook and Instagram being down.

We will update this post once we learn that WhatsApp is back online and functioning as intended for everyone. Is WhatsAoo working fine for you? Let us know once you can send messages, and we will inform our readers promptly.
