Is WhatsApp down right now? We check Meta's status page for WhatsApp Business as you arrive, then show any outage, its 90-day uptime and what to use instead.
Other messaging apps that are working right now.
Email us and we'll tell you when WhatsApp reports a major outage, and when it's working again.
You sign up by sending one email, so nobody else can use your address. Every alert has a stop link. Add "all problems" to the subject to hear about small problems too.
Uptime and history
With 9 other apps in Team chat and video calls over the last 90 days, by what each reports on its own status page.
How well WhatsApp keeps people informed when something goes wrong.
Posting small problems openly is a good sign. An app that reports more problems isn't necessarily less reliable than one that reports fewer.
