About WhatsApp
WhatsApp is the most-used messaging platform globally, covering 1-to-1 chat, group chats, voice and video calls, status updates, and the WhatsApp Business API. Outages typically affect specific subsystems: message delivery stalls (messages show a single grey tick), media upload fails, voice and video calls fail to connect, or WhatsApp Web fails to sync with the phone. Businesses on the Cloud API (official) or On-Premises API (deprecated) lose the ability to send template messages, which affects transactional use cases like OTP delivery, order updates, and support ticket notifications.
The official WhatsApp status page is at downdetector.com/status/whatsapp. However, official status pages are often updated manually and can lag behind real outages by minutes or hours. Independent monitoring catches issues faster.
