On Wednesday night, WhatsApp users dashed to rival social site X (formerly Twitter) to vent their anger as the messaging app went down

WhatsApp went down for hundreds of thousands of users all across the globe on Wednesday evening in the latest Meta outage in the space of a few weeks.

At the height of the outage, more than 6,000 Irish WhatsApp accounts reported issues with their account, with some reports that other Meta-owned apps like Instagram were also experiencing small issues.While parent company Meta has yet to issue an update on the issue, WhatsApp took to micro-blogging platform X to acknowledge the outage and "working on getting" the app up and running again “as quickly as possible”.

After the app went down, users around Ireland began taking to Meta’s rival, X to vent their frustrations, with many joking about social media users rushing to the platform to know if WhatsApp and Instagram are actually down. While most of the outage appears to be over, the latest update from Downdetector shows that a small number of WhatsApp users are still experiencing issues.
