Soon after the technical snag was reported in India, users took to social media platforms such as Twitter to complain about the services. However, the reason of the snag is yet to be ascertained.
Taking to Twitter, WhatsApp users said that one of the world’s most popular instant messaging apps has not been working for some time now. Some Instagram users also reported that the app is down.
Because of the technical issue, messages were not getting delivered on WhatsApp, users tweeted, while no content could be loaded on the photo- and video-sharing app Instagram. However, the official account of WhatsApp on Twitter has not posted any message on the issue yet.
