WhatsApp back online after two-hour global outage
WhatsApp services restored after major outage


Lahore: Meta-owned messaging app WhatsApp is slowly coming back online Tuesday, with some users in Pakistan, Asia and the United Kingdom saying they are able to send and receive messages.
The application went down in a major global outage affecting the communications app for two hours today. The service started experiencing issues at around 12 am PST, with users greeted with a “connecting” message.
WhatsApp web also showed a “make sure your computer has an active internet connection” error.
This was the first major WhatsApp outage since the service went down as part of a massive outage that also took down Instagram, Messenger, Oculus, and Facebook last year.
WhatsApp outages are still relatively rare, but they have major implications for communications worldwide as the service is used by more than two billion people each month.
