What to do when WhatsApp is down
- Messages sent during a WhatsApp outage are queued and will be delivered once service is restored — you will not lose messages.
- If WhatsApp is down, use Telegram, Signal, or SMS for urgent communication.
- WhatsApp outages often coincide with Facebook and Instagram outages since they share Meta infrastructure — check if those are also affected.
- Report the outage on this page to help other users confirm the problem.
Common WhatsApp outage causes
WhatsApp outages are almost always part of Meta-wide incidents that simultaneously affect Facebook and Instagram since they share core infrastructure. Message delivery queuing means no messages are lost — they deliver once servers recover.
