WhatsApp Is Down In India! What A Few Hours Without WhatsApp Means For Twitterati

Humans have taken thousands of years to evolve from being a filthy-looking cave-man to a fine-looking man with tie and suit. Today’s generation relies highly on technology to do stuff to shop, we need eBay. To learn something, we need an online tutorial. To learn more about topics, we need webinars. To showcase our talent, we need a blog.

To play chess, we need an online partner, for communication, we need Facebook and Twitter and Whatsapp and Viber and the list goes on, doesn’t it? Imagine your life without all these, it’s impossible and horrible, isn’t it?

But it did happen for a while in India. WhatsApp was down for a couple of hours in the country and in a few parts of the world. The Facebook-owned messaging service appears to be facing outage. It is, however, not clear which all regions are affected by the downtime.

WhatsApp users were not able to both send as well as receive messages. Reports suggest the WhatsApp’s worldwide server crashed for a few hours. Shortly, the hashtag #whatsappdown began to trend and people just couldn’t wait for WhatsApp to work again.

Twitter Reactions:

A similar WhatsApp outage was reported in the month of May this year as well when the platform was down for a few hours in all parts of the world.

However, WhatsApp is now back for users after a brief outage in the afternoon of November 3. WhatsApp is yet to release an official statement on the outage.
