Whatsapp, Facebook And Instagram Down For Many Users
You are probably not affected, but our beloved instant messaging app Whatsapp is down. Not just this platform, but also Facebook and Instagram, as reported, have access problems. Pictures, videos, and status updates can neither be viewed nor uploaded.

It seems to be a global hiccup, as people from Nigeria, the UK, China, and other countries have tweeted about the problem. For Whatsapp, one can still send and receive messages and make voice and video calls. On the Facebook side of the conundrum, it is reportedly impossible to send all kinds of files via chat.
