WhatsApp down for thousands of users in India

The popular instant messaging app owned by Meta, WhatsApp is said to have been down for the past 30 minutes as thousands of users in India are currently unable to send and receive messages.

WhatsApp users are currently unable to send or receive text messages in both individual and group chats of the platform due to an outage.

It doesn’t appear to be possible to send messages on WhatsApp groups, but individual chats also seem to be largely affected.

Users in major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Lucknow were affected by the power outage. Even users in Odisha are facing the same problem.

The company has yet to make any official statement regarding the matter.
