WhatsApp issues statement after messaging app goes down

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.
