Is WhatsApp down? Users report mass issues with messenger app
February 28, 2025
In a recent surge of activity on Downdetector, over 56,000 users reported issues with WhatsApp, highlighting a significant disruption in service. The primary concerns among users include difficulties in sending messages, with 56% of reports indicating this problem. Additionally, 32% of users experienced connection issues, while 12% faced challenges with the app itself.
Social media has become a platform for users to express their frustrations and seek confirmation of the outage. One user humorously noted on X (formerly Twitter), “Me running to Twitter after rebooting my phone to see if WhatsApp is down.” Another chimed in with a simple inquiry: “Is WhatsApp down?” A third user added, “WhatsApp is down and all the world is checking the WiFi.”

What is Downdetector?
Downdetector serves as a valuable resource for users experiencing issues with various online services, including X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, and Virgin Media. The platform allows individuals to report problems, and it only registers an incident when the volume of reports significantly exceeds the normal levels for that time of day.
Describing itself as “where people go when services don’t work,” Downdetector monitors disruptions across a wide range of essential services, from internet providers to social media platforms and banking services. Users can explore the full methodology behind Downdetector’s operations on its website, which details how status information is collected and problems are detected.
Recommended Reading
Users can actively participate by submitting reports of any issues they encounter on the platform. Downdetector also aggregates problem indicators from social media and other online sources. These reports undergo validation and real-time analysis to ensure accuracy.
An incident is flagged when the number of reports significantly exceeds the average for that particular service. Those investigating outages can view the most reported problems and identify whether their locations fall within the outage hotspots.
