Social media users saw the lighter side of things and took to Twitter share memes.<\/p>\n
The ‘WhatsApp down’ hashtag is now trending.<\/p>\n
WhatsApp is yet to release an official statement on the outage. Meanwhile, people took to Twitter to complain about problems with the messaging service.<\/p>\n
\u201cFirst we open WhatsApp, then we open Twitter to know if #whatsappdown is for everyone,\u201d wrote a Twitter user. \u201cWhatsapp is down, I repeat Whatsapp is down,\u201d tweeted out another user.<\/p>\n
Notably, this is not the first time that WhatsApp faced an outage. The Facebook-owned company was down globally early September as well, with users reporting problems accessing the app.<\/p>\n
In May, WhatsApp was down for a few hours in all parts of the world including Malaysia to Spain, Germany and some other European countries. Severely affected countries included Belgium, the Netherlands, and Britain.<\/p>\n
