Is WhatsApp down for everyone or just me?

Right now down.now isn't seeing a broad WhatsApp outage, so the problem is most likely local to you — your connection, your device, or the app itself. Try the app on mobile data instead of Wi-Fi, then restart the router. If reports start arriving from other people, this page flips to an outage within minutes.

How does down.now know if WhatsApp is down?

Down.Now watches two crowd signals for WhatsApp — anonymous reports submitted here, and public social-media posts about it — and compares the live volume against what's normal for that hour of the day. A sustained spike above that baseline opens an incident, which is usually visible before an official confirmation. We measure what users report, not WhatsApp's servers directly.
