The disruptions began around 3:12 PM, primarily impacting users in London, Manchester, and Glasgow. Users reported difficulties sending messages (55%), server connection issues (34%), and problems with the app (11%). Many turned to X (formerly Twitter) to discuss the outage. By 6 PM, WhatsApp confirmed the issue had been resolved. This incident follows previous outages at Meta, including one in December affecting over 100,000 users and another in October 2021 that left billions without access for nearly six hours, resulting in a significant financial loss for Mark Zuckerberg.

Google bans 5 dangerous apps from Play Store — but Android users won’t be safe until they take action

Google has removed five applications from the Play Store that contained a new strain of malware called Mandrake, which has been downloaded approximately 32,000 times. Mandrake, which has enhanced spying capabilities, can monitor activities on infected devices, collect data, record screens, and simulate user interactions. The affected apps were available for over a year before their removal, and users must manually delete them from their devices to eliminate the threat. The five compromised applications are AirFS, Astro Explorer, Amber, CryptoPulsing, and Brain Matrix. Users in countries including the UK, Canada, Germany, Italy, Mexico, and Spain may have been affected. Google recommends enabling Play Protect to help mitigate risks associated with Mandrake. Users are advised to download apps only from official sources and to scrutinize app reviews and permissions.
