Popular messaging platform WhatsApp has issued a statement after users reported major problems with the app.
Thousands took to social media to complain that while the app itself is still working, they are unable to send or receive any messages. WhatsApp has stated that it is aware of the issue and is working to fix it.
Users began reporting the problem on Tuesday morning when they found that they were able to access their conversations but were unable to deliver any new messages while also seeing a constant "connecting" message at the top of the app. Despite the message, the app continued to fail at connecting to any server for many users.
