WhatsApp loses the status phrases of our contacts
WhatsApp does his thing again. If it seemed that we had already forgotten its latest disaster from a few weeks ago, in which left thousands of users without service for several hours, now comes a new problem: forgets our status phrases Something we think hadn't happened beforeHowever, we still have a fully functional service, so our messages continue to be sent and received without any kind of problem, at least for the moment.
The problem is that it is not possible to show the status message of our account That phrase that we can write to let our customers know contacts if we are available, busy or whatever we want to express But that's not the worst. What is striking is the current error phrase that appears replacing our customization and that says Error: status unavailable (error: status not available). A question that is repeated throughout our contact list, a question that makes it even more visible.
This error, which has already been going on for five hours, is closely related to WhatsApp , so users can't do anything but wait for it to be resolved.At least, on this occasion, the social network has published a message through Twitter to report the event. Thus, with the brevity of 140 characters comments: The WhatsApp status function is not available at this time. We are working on its early resolution . Which in turn makes us think that this is a global failure, and not localized problems as happens with some service outages.
This is a minor error that does not cause any type of disturbance for the user on foot, only those who are affected areplace great importance on customizing of your account. Now all that remains is to hope that the problem is resolved as soon as possible and that, if possible, returns the original states to its users Something that might not be the case if the information ends up disappearing from the WhatsApp serversSpeculations that only force us to wait to know the outcome of this problem.
It seems that WhatsApp is not going through its best moment, at least in the media. To these service failures now we must add a fierce competition thanks to the appearance ofLINE on stage, threatening to get a big piece of the pie And even more, now that the main operators in our country present their own alternative: joyn Without a doubt, an environmentvery uncomfortable if we compare it only with a couple of months ago, when it was presented as the hegemonic free instant messaging application We will be attentive to the next movements of what is still the preferred communication tool among Spanish users
In the same way, we will update this information as soon as we know that the failure of the status phrase has been corrected. Let's hope it's soon.
Update:
Although there has been no official confirmation from WhatsApp, the problem of the disappearance of status phrases could be completely remedied. In fact, the oldold phrases would have been restored a few hours ago. Some iPhone users may still experience this error, although it should not be common.
