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.

Tens of thousands of fault reports – also internationally

We apologize “to everyone who was affected by the outage.” However, comments from users reporting problems could still be read under the X post. Hours earlier, the company had pointed out the technical problems with its apps at X.

We are aware that a technical issue may be affecting some users' access to our apps.

Hundreds of thousands of people in Germany search Google for “Instagram disruption”, “Whatsapp disruption” and similar terms. Media around the world reported on the outages. The British “The Sun” also wrote about outages among thousands of users.
