Users have taken to X to report issues with communication platform WhatsApp. One X user wrote: “Is WhatsApp Web down for everyone?” whilst another person wrote: “IsWhatsApp down, or does no care about me? In response to this user’s tweet, one person wrote: “It is for me here in São Paulo in Brazil.”

Reddit users have also voiced problems with WhatsApp and one wrote: “Glad it's not just me! (thanks to reddit) It's not even working in firefox private mode but Chrome is working fine. Not sure if it's a FF update or WA issue.”

This is not the first time WhatsApp users have issues with the communication platform recently. Last month users in Brazil, the US, Peru, Italy and Costa Rica experienced problems with WhatsApp.
