WhatsApp is down for thousands of users across the globe. WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps across the world and millions of users rely on it for day-to-day conversation. Over the last half an hour, thousands of users have complained that they are not able to use WhatsApp services. DNA India can independently confirm that WhatsApp is down for several users across the country. As of now more than 20,000 users have reported WhatsApp outages on DownDetector. Facebook owned messaging platform is yet to release any statement on the same. Till the time WhatsApp is down, you can use Signal and Telegram messaging platforms that offer almost similar services.
Signal and Telegram are one of the most popular WhatsApp alternatives across the globe. Both the apps have similar user interface as WhatsApp along with a few extra features that the Facebook owned app misses out on. Signal and Telegram are available on Google Play Store and Apple App Store for free and users can quickly sign up to use the services by linking their mobile number.
After adding avatars in Instagram, Meta recently started to roll out avatars for WhatsApp as well. As per a report by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp has added Facebook-like avatars for some lucky beta testers on Android platform. The report mentions that WhatsApp has released a new beta update for Android users that brings the version of the app up to 2.22.23.9. With the update, a few users are able to use Facebook like avatars as their profile picture and stickers as well.
WhatsApp recently also rolled out a new Instagram-like feature for Apple iPhone users with the latest update. WhatsApp users on iPhone can now react to status updates shared by other users through a dedicated emoji panel. The emoji panel for WhatsApp status is quite similar to what platform rolled out for messages when it first introduced the feature.
