WhatsApp temporarily stops working again
It seems that the most widespread instant messaging application continues to make people talk because of its service failures And it is that again WhatsApp negatively surprise thousands of users who try to establish communication between them and cannot. A failure that has not been repeated for a long time and that once again draws attention to this service with the complaints of those users who, after having paid for it, encounter this problem.
Apparently the failure occurred from 10 this morning, when the messages written through WhatsApp were paralyzed in the sending state. Thus, thousands of users have seen how, after pressing the send button, the clock icon remained next to the message, indicating its waiting status before being sent to service servers. What prevents this information from being sent and, therefore, also received. For now, all that remains is to wait for the system to work again and take all these messages to their destination.
The crashes of the messaging service of WhatsApp or the failures to send and receive messages were more or less common a couple of years ago. And the fact is that the platform was still developing, growing exponentially and suffering these problems almost every month.However, for some time now, especially when since March it began to inevitably charging all users to renew their subscription once the trial time has expired, it seemed like the service was completely on key. No connection problems or failed message delivery.
Now, last October a new failure was detected. In this case, even the official WhatsApp account on Twitter warned of what had happened and reported when the system was restored. In the case of today's failure, for now there is no official information, although it is a demonstrable fact that the system crash is affecting a good number of users. At least Spanish.
As always when there is a failure in the WhatsApp service, the rest of social networks is flooded with comments and complaints from users.Especially Twitter, where humor and irony come together in just 140 characters, creating a Trending Topic or topic of the moment. On this social network it is possible to see hilarious drawings that show the “fall of WhatsApp”, political criticism that suggests that is not a failure of the service, but rather a cut from the Government to promote education on Sundays; and other comments like “WhatsApp falls more than the king”
As always, there is no choice but to wait for the WhatsApp technicians to solve the problem and restore the service so that it works correctly . It is critical that, as on other occasions, the problem has not been officially informed And it is of little use to check the status of the service from the menu Settings, which always claims to be working correctly, being the social networks and the users themselves the only reliable source about these problems.Hopefully the solution will arrive in a matter of minutes.
Update:
The WhatsApp service seems to have been fully restored as of 11:15 this morning, so the drop would only have lasted about an hour. Finally, the Twitter account @wa_status has confirmed the failure of the servers with a touch of humor in relation to the movie Back to the Future: Sorry, we just suffered a small cut. Our servers went back an hour and couldn't find their way back to the future without the flux capacitor
