Is WhatsApp down right now?

No, it’s up.

WhatsApp appears to be up and running normally.

checked responded in 28msHTTP 200

Over the last 7 days, WhatsApp has answered our automated checks with 100.00% availability and a typical response time of ~58 ms. The most recent outage began 2026-09-17 07:17 UTC and lasted 15m (severity: degraded).

WhatsApp is the dominant messaging app across much of the world, with end-to-end encrypted chats, calls, and Business API messaging. Its outages are unusually visible because messages sit unsent with a single clock icon, and media delivery frequently fails before text does.

Is WhatsApp down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching WhatsApp normally right now, and it answered our last one in 28ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.

Measured since 2026-08-12. Windows reaching further back are averaged over the 39 days we watched, not the full period. Counts our own checks. Days WhatsApp reported an incident are coloured in the timeline above but do not change this figure.

What to do if WhatsApp is down for just you

  • Force-close and reopen the app, then check for an available update.
  • Toggle Wi-Fi and mobile data — social apps fail over between them poorly.
  • Clear the app cache (or reinstall) if feeds won't load.
  • Check whether you're logged in on another device that may have signed you out.
