Massive disorder: Users report problems with WhatsApp and Co.

On Wednesday evening there was a massive failure of the popular meta services WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram. For around 4:30 p.m., thousands of users have reported disorders worldwide because no messages could be sent or received. On disruption portals and social media such as X, formerly Twitter, the reports are increasing under the hashtags #whatsappdown, #instagramdown and #Facebookdown. According to the information from 5min.at

Meta confirmed the technical problem and expressed itself on X that they worked on a fast solution. Already at 8 p.m. there was first feedback in which the company thanked for the understanding of the users. According to a message from Meta, they were 99 percent of the problem, and from around 9 p.m. the faults in the functionality of the applications declined. Nevertheless, some users continued to be affected and continued to comment on persistent difficulties on social media, such as Ruhrnachrichten.de reported.

currently remains unclear what exactly the cause of this far -reaching failure was and how many users are specifically affected. Meta has not yet commented on the specific causes, but apologized to the users for the inconvenience caused by the failure. While some services worked normally around 9 p.m., many continued to report on difficulties, which indicates a problem that has not yet been fully resolved.
