Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat… let’s be honest we all use Whatsapp and rely on it way more than any of those. So when there is an outage, outright panic ensues. 

The service had a temporary worldwide black out last night for several hours. The reasons for the outage were not known, but users quickly turned to Twitter to express themselves – and we can be thankful for that!  

“Earlier today, WhatsApp users in all parts of the world were unable to access WhatsApp for a few hours. We have now fixed the issue and apologize for the inconvenience.”
