WhatsApp’s longest crash ever: That’s what Meta had to say about it
WhatsApp was unable to provide a detailed explanation as to what was the reason behind the massive Crash. The messaging platform has faced similar cuts in the past.
WhatsApp faced the worst ever crash in many of its leading markets, including India and the UK. On Tuesday afternoon, the platform started working erratically, and within minutes, users stopped receiving or even sending any texts. The outage also affected the video calling and voice calling feature. Even the status sharing feature was inaccessible to many users. Initially, WhatsApp acknowledged the problem and claimed to be working on a fix. After almost 90 minutes – 2 hours the service was back online.
Why did WhatsApp crash?
WhatsApp was unable to provide a detailed explanation as to what was the reason behind the massive outage. The instant messaging platform claimed that the outage was due to a technical error. So far, WhatsApp has not disclosed this “technical error” or its impact on users. A Meta spokesperson told Business Today, “The brief outage was the result of a technical error on our part and has now been resolved.”
Does WhatsApp take precautions against crashes?
Last year, in early October, Meta suffered a major outage. This outage caused services to crash on their biggest platforms: Instagram, WhatsApp and Meta. The outage happened twice in one week. In March 2021, another outage to WhatsApp and Instagram caused a 45-minute outage.
Where did WhatsApp crash?
WhatsApp has been an important platform for India, Asia and other markets including Europe and Africa. Not only individual users but even Businesses rely on the services provided by the platform. Features like WhatsApp Business and WhatsApp Pay were also paralyzed during Tuesday’s outage. In the past, outages have driven users to look for alternatives in the market. Options like Telegram and Signal benefited greatly from the October 2021 outage.
What are WhatsApp Plans?
WhatsApp has big plans for its implementation despite the cuts. The platform plans to introduce a new mega feature called communities. This new feature will help the app stay ahead of Telegram’s competition. Telegram channels have this unique broadcast model and WhatsApp will launch its own version of this feature in the form of Communities. This feature will essentially be a WhatsApp Groups Group. Enables more participants in a single thread.
