<p><strong>WhatsApp has broken, with users unable to send or receive messages.</strong></p>
<p>The world’s most popular messaging app appears to have stopped working, potentially affecting billions of users.</p>
<p>The app would allow people to type messages to friends and then press send. But they then became stuck, never actually delivering.</p>
<p>There did not appear to be any fix for the issue, with restarting the app or using the web version also failing to work.</p>
<p>It means that users are likely sending and being sent messages without them actually being delivered – potentially leading to problems.</p>
<p>The issues led to a huge spike of reports on outage tracking website DownDetector, with users around the world reporting problems.</p>
<p>The issues appeared to begin around 8am UK time.</p>
<p>WhatsApp does not maintain any official outlets to update users on outages. Unlike the rest of Meta, it does not run an official status page, and it has a Twitter account intended to document problems but has not used it since 2014.</p>
<p>It also runs official Facebook and Twitter accounts, but neither had been updated in response to the outage.</p>
<p>WhatsApp is the biggest chat platform in the world, with more than two billion monthly active users, and the third biggest social platform after Facebook and YouTube.</p>
