Messaging service WhatsApp is down and for the past half hour or so users haven’t been able to send messages.  The company has confirmed to BGR India that the service is indeed facing some issues and they are working towards fixing it. There is no word on how long it could take the company to restore the services.

 

When you open WhatsApp, it keeps trying to connect to the servers. It is quite similar to when you open the messaging app when there is no data connection.

Two days back the messaging service was in the spotlight for inking a deal with Facebook. In what is its biggest deal till date, the social giant acquired WhatsApp for $19 billion.
