What is wrong with my WhatsApp ?

24 replies

Have I accidentally switched myself off ?
Sent 2 different people a WhatsApp message in the last 10 mins or so .
I am at home so on WiFi .

Both messages are showing with just the " square clock at 3pm " icon thing .
This usually happens if I try and send a message with no signal available.

Does anyone know if I am on wrong setting or what to do ?
Thanks

It’s not you - I think WhatsApp is having issues at the moment.

CloseYourEyesAndSee · 04/10/2021 18:16

It's down across the whole world
And Facebook and Instagram

WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram all down today

Haven't you heard on Twitter? Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram are down. It's the end of the world as we know it... apparently.

Usually a good place to check if there’s a known problem. And yes currently there is.

They're talking about it on sky news now

Doesn't matter if it's the provider of the product having issues. Mercifully for me I have been spared the usual thirty odd WhatsApp messages on a group I'm in. Thought they'd been quiet. I'm away and couldn't be arsed to mute them this morning Grin

You can still text!

sadeyedladyofthelowlandsea · 04/10/2021 18:22

No, it won't affect texts, tv recordings, email, etc. Just whatsapp, fb, and instagram. It's nothing to do with your internet connection, otherwise you wouldn't be able to be on here! Smile

bizzey · 04/10/2021 18:29

Thank you !
( I sent DS a text as well ...I now know he is just ignoring me 😁😁)

Lulu1919 · 04/10/2021 18:34

crimsonlake · 04/10/2021 18:45

People in my child's class may have to look back through the information sent from school to find out if PE kits are needed tomorrow instead of asking on the class WhatsApp group.

I'm not sure they will cope.

Hahahahahaha! Yes! Yes!
