WhatsApp has over 2 billion active users worldwide at the moment, the most popular messaging app in the world at the moment. Unfortunately, last night WhatsApp was unavailable for about an hour, without Facebook, or the company behind the platform, initially offering any explanation regarding the reasons behind this situation, which raised a lot of question marks.
WhatsApp then came with an explanation for the situation, and stated that an update made for its servers generated the unavailability for the 2 billion people who use the platform daily. It is not known exactly what kind of update it is about, or what kind of changes were made by those at WhatsApp, but it is quite clear that it was not about something very simple, otherwise it would not have happened in such a situation.
WhatsApp: The application has been BLOCKED for BILLIONS of People
WhatsApp it very rarely has functional problems that affect even the entire user base of the application, and it is just as rare that they last so long. In 2019, WhatsApp had two or three situations where the services were unavailable for such long periods of time, but otherwise the platform worked without problems for the billions of people who send tens of billions of photos and videos through the platform.
"Earlier, an internal update to the WhatsApp servers caused some people to have problems sending messages. We quickly resolved this issue for everyone and apologize for any inconvenience.”
WhatsApp an integration with Facebook is to be made so that user data is accessible from both platforms, but also from Instagram, so it is possible that the problems are from here. In order for all the servers that support the WhatsApp infrastructure to be interconnected, quite a lot of work is needed, which sometimes brings problems of unavailability for the services enjoyed by billions of people all over the world.
WhatsApp its functionality is now back to normal, but it is not excluded that other problems will appear, and if this happens, you know what exactly they are coming from, and that they will be solved in due time.
