Our probe checks whatsapp.com from a single serverless region. If the service is up in our check but down for you, the issue may be regional — related to your ISP, local DNS, or geographic routing.
How can I monitor WhatsApp uptime?
WebsiteDown Pro checks whatsapp.com every 60 seconds and sends alerts via email, Telegram, or Discord within 1–5 minutes of a detected outage. Free users can check manually anytime.
What does WhatsApp's response time mean?
Response time measures how long whatsapp.com takes to reply to our server-side probe. Under 500ms is good, 500–1000ms is elevated, and over 1000ms suggests degraded performance. Your experience may differ based on your location and ISP.
How does WebsiteDown check WhatsApp?
We send a direct HTTP HEAD request to whatsapp.com from our serverless infrastructure, measuring the response time and HTTP status code. We also scan social networks, Reddit, and news sources for outage signals.
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.
