About WhatsApp

WhatsApp is how India messages. Owned by Meta and used by billions worldwide, it has its largest user base anywhere in this country, where it carries not just personal chat but family groups, school notices, business orders and government announcements.

Messages and calls are end-to-end encrypted, and the app has grown well past text, with voice and video calling, Communities, Channels, WhatsApp Business for small sellers and UPI payments built in.

Because it runs as a single global service on Meta's infrastructure, a fault on their side is felt by users in many countries within the same minute, and festival days push message volume to its yearly highs.

If WhatsApp isn't working

Messages not sending? Check your connection first, then try WhatsApp Web to confirm whether it is your phone or WhatsApp itself.
Update the app An out of date WhatsApp can stop connecting after a server change. Update from the store and reopen.
Don't reinstall during an outage Reinstalling logs you out and adds verification hassle without fixing a server side outage. Wait for recovery first.
Try WhatsApp Web If Web works but the phone does not, the issue is your phone or connection and not WhatsApp.
Check the live status above If many people across India are reporting WhatsApp right now, it is a wider problem and not just you.

Other ways to access WhatsApp

Use WhatsApp Web or Desktop web.whatsapp.com or the desktop app can work when the phone app is stuck, since your chats sync across them.
Message on another app for now Reach the same people on SMS, Telegram or Instagram until WhatsApp is back.
Switch Wi-Fi and mobile data Move to whichever connection is more stable, since a stuck message is sometimes your connection.
WhatsApp support for account issues Use the verified WhatsApp support contact for login or account problems. WhatsApp help is mainly in the app and online.
