WhatsApp, which is owned by Meta, went down on Tuesday morning around 8:15 am.

Users of the platform were unable to send and receive messages.

However, at exactly 9:45 am the messaging app is now back online.

The outage made users head to other social media platforms like Twitter to lament the development.

A check indicated that users could not send messages to groups while personal messages only showed one tick which means that such messages were not delivered to the recipient. The WhatsApp status feature did not also function.

Meta also confirmed the WhatsApp outage globally saying the company was working to restore service “as quickly as possible.”

Below is the official statement released by Meta;

“We’re aware that some people are currently having trouble sending messages and we’re working to restore WhatsApp for everyone as quickly as possible.”

Meanwhile, Kanyi Daily reported that WhatsApp will stop working on some types of phones from November 1, 2021.

It was gathered that the social media messaging app will stop working on some devices because owners of the platform will cease to provide support for the operating system running on such old-model devices.
