According to reports, the online messenger app was down for numerous users across the world, but it has since been restored for users in India. It appears that the messaging app was hit by a server-end issue. No text messages could either be sent or received on the app. While the application was not responding for many users across the world, as usual, people flood Twitter with funny memes and jokes, reporting a brief outage. This is pretty much normal now. Any time, the messenger app or any other application stops responding, netizens run to the microblogging platform to report an outage with a meme fest.

According to DownDetector, the website which overviews issues and outages with all kinds of services, WhatsApp received widespread reports of an outage, early hours today. The major epicentre was reportedly Western Europe. USA and India also appear to be facing disruptions at the same time. This is a seasonal issue. WhatsApp has often reported outages in the past, as well, leaving users tensed for a while. In June, this year, the messaging app reportedly went down, after several features were not working.
