WhatsApp: This is what happened on Thursday!

The instant communication application "WhatsApp" confirmed that it fixed technical malfunctions that led to the interruption of its service in several regions of the world, on Thursday night, while 40,000 people in Britain reported problems using it.

And (Downdetector) website, which is concerned with following up on the status of famous digital platforms, stated that more than 41,000 outages were recorded in the “WhatsApp” service.

Less than an hour later, the number of outages had dropped to 36,000.

And the British “Sky News” network reported, on Friday, that most of the outages in the “WhatsApp” service in Britain occurred in London, Manchester and Birmingham.

But the problem went beyond the borders of Britain, as there were interruptions in the “WhatsApp” service in several countries around the world, such as the United States, where “WhatsApp” acknowledged the existence of a problem and said that it was working to return things to normal.

Facebook also appeared to have technical problems, but on a smaller scale, only about 200 users reported difficulties using the site at the same time.
