Meta Platforms-owned WhatsApp was restored on Wednesday after an hours-long outage at the smartphone messaging app disrupted services for thousands of people globally.
WhatsApp said in a post on the social media platform X that the issues had been resolved.
According to the outage tracking website Downdetector.com, more than 30,000 users in India, over 67,000 in the United Kingdom, and 95,000 in Brazil reported problems with the platform.
The Downdetector.com tracks outages by collating status reports from several sources including user-submitted errors on its platform.
Last month, hundreds of thousands of users of the social media company's Facebook and Instagram were impacted globally for more than two hours following an outage that was caused by a technical issue.
Meta has about 3.19 billion daily active users across its family of apps, which also includes Threads. (With inputs from Agencies)
