WhatsApp 'Not Working' as Hundreds of UK Users Report Problems with App

On November 4, WhatsApp experienced a major global outage that peaked at 2:33pm, with DownDetector inundated with complaints as millions could not access WhatsApp Web.
DownDetector data shows WhatsApp Web caused most reports, with 83% of UK issues and 81% worldwide, while WhatsApp, owned by Meta, recommended restarting, updating, or clearing cache.
In the UK over 400 people reported problems within 20 minutes, and users in the US, Spain, Germany, Italy, Brazil, Peru, and Costa Rica said both WhatsApp mobile app and WhatsApp Web were affected as reports eased by 3:40pm.
It is currently unclear when the service will be restored, affecting WhatsApp's over three billion monthly active users worldwide.
Because the mobile app is more popular, complaint totals may undercount the impact, and reports from the United States, Brazil, and other affected countries show diverse regional disruptions.
