WhatsApp is a web service at whatsapp.com. Visit the WhatsApp status page on WebsiteDown for outage data, community reports, and AI-sourced intelligence.

Where can I report a WhatsApp outage?

You can report WhatsApp issues on WebsiteDown — community reports help confirm whether outages are widespread.

Why can't I access WhatsApp?

If WhatsApp appears up in our check but you can't reach it, try: clearing browser cache, flushing DNS (ipconfig /flushdns or sudo dscacheutil -flushcache), switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or disabling your VPN.

Can I still make calls on WhatsApp during an outage?

During partial outages, some WhatsApp features like messaging may work while video calls don't, or vice versa. Try switching between features or use the mobile app as a fallback.

Are WhatsApp messages delayed during outages?

Yes, messages sent during a WhatsApp outage may be delayed or fail to deliver. They typically arrive once the service recovers. Check this page for live status updates.

WhatsApp answered our probe, but measures as unreachable from mainland China.

Volunteers running OONI on Chinese networks recorded 459 anomalous results in 580 tests (79%) between 2026-06-01 and 2026-08-29.

Our own probe runs from one region outside China, so it cannot see this. If you are in China and it will not load, the service is most likely fine and the network in between is not.
