WhatsApp<\/a> has broken, with users unable to send or receive messages, as the world\u2019s most popular messaging app appears to have stopped working, potentially affecting billions of users.<\/p>\n

The app would allow people to type messages to friends and then press send. But they then became stuck, never actually delivering.<\/p>\n

It means that users are likely sending and being sent messages without them actually being delivered \u2013 potentially leading to problems.<\/p>\n

The issues led to a huge spike of reports on outage tracking website DownDetector, with users around the world reporting problems.<\/p>\n

The issues appeared to begin around 8am UK time, report<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

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>\n

It also runs official Facebook and Twitter accounts, but neither had been updated in response to the outage.<\/p>\n

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>\n
