WhatsApp, the most popular messaging app with over 1.3 billion users went down briefly. Any social platform or messaging app outage leaves people crazy thinking what to do with their smartphones now. WhatsApp will normally open on your smartphone and you may think that it is working fine. However, on iOS you will notice that it’ll show “Connecting” on top of the app. If you try sending a message it won’t be delivered to the recipient.
WhatsApp’s outage is being seen as a network failure, and will possibly end up fooling many people thinking that there is a connectivity issue. You can check and see if other apps online are working fine or not. BGR India reached out to WhatsApp to understand the reason behind the outage.
A WhatsApp spokesperson responded saying, ““Earlier today, WhatsApp users globally had trouble accessing the app for about an hour. This issue has been fixed and we apologize for the inconvenience.”
But obviously, any outage has a direct effect on Twitter with the influx of memes. Here’s a look at how people are reacted to the WhatsApp outage.

At the time of filing the story, WhatsApp was back. Cue tweets from relieved people.
