WhatsApp, the most used instant messaging app in the world, stopped working almost all over the world since 9am (time of the Spanish peninsula), approx. The reason for the shutdown of the service is currently unknown.
famous gate down detector reflects the aforementioned service outage, which was also reported by many users of the platform on social networks such as Twitter. whatsapp at the moment did not make any official statements through the usual channels about this situation.
The fall of WhatsApp is total. It is not possible to send messages, images, videos or any other type of content. When accessing the application, a message with the text “Connecting” is displayed in the upper area, which should disappear after a few seconds after the connection to the servers is established. However, this does not happen. None of the versions (iOS, Android, Mac, Windows, etc.) are exceptions.
What to do if WhatsApp is not working?
If you need to contact someone urgently, you can use alternatives like iMessage, Telegram or Signal, which offer a good user experience as well as a high level of security, especially Signal. None of them have as many active users as WhatsApp, so you may not find certain contacts on these platforms. However, they are quite practical in these scenarios.
Another temporary solution for short messages are traditional SMS. Many plans already include sending unlimited SMS at no extra cost, so if this is your case, this might be the right option to overcome this WhatsApp glitch. Of course: don’t forget to send multimedia files (images, videos, documents, etc.) if you don’t want surprises in your bill at the end of the month.
in a professional setting, there are also alternatives like Slack, Microsoft Teams or Google Chat., which are recommended not only to overcome this obstacle, but also for everyday life. They offer more control, a high level of security, and useful workplace tools.
