Since around 7 p.m. Wednesday evening, many users have no longer been able to send or receive WhatsApp messages. Although individual messages went through, the website alletreib.de reported more than 125,000 fault reports. Instagram and Facebook were also affected by restrictions.

The global disruption has now apparently been resolved. The responsible Meta group announced this on Thursday night. “We’re 99 percent done – we’re just doing a few final checks,” the internet giant posted on rival platform X.
