WhatsApp is Meta's messaging and calling app. This check tests WhatsApp Web, the browser version. When WhatsApp stops loading, the question is always the same: is the service down for everyone, or is the problem on your side? The check above visits web.whatsapp.com right now from Cloudflare's network, so you get an answer in a few seconds.

If WhatsApp is up but not working for you

Check that your phone has working internet by opening any website, then switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data.
Update WhatsApp in your app store and restart your phone.
Turn off any VPN for a moment, since some networks and countries restrict messaging apps.
If a message shows a clock icon instead of a tick, it hasn't left your phone yet. That points to a connection problem on your side rather than a WhatsApp outage.

Common questions

Is WhatsApp down for everyone or just me?

Our check visits web.whatsapp.com from a Cloudflare server, far away from your connection. If it answers there but not for you, the problem is most likely your Wi-Fi, internet provider, DNS, VPN, or the app. If it doesn't answer there either, WhatsApp is probably down for many people. A single check can be wrong, so try again in a minute before you decide.

Why is WhatsApp not working?

The usual causes are WhatsApp having a real outage or maintenance, your Wi-Fi or internet provider, a DNS problem, a VPN or ad blocker, an out-of-date app or browser, or the wrong date and time on your device. Work through the steps above from the easiest to the hardest.

What does "up, but blocking checks" mean?

Some large sites refuse requests that come from servers rather than ordinary browsers. If the check says the site responded but blocked it, the site is almost certainly working, and the check just can't see more than that.

Where is the official WhatsApp status page?

We aren't aware of a public status page from WhatsApp. The company's help center and its official support account on social media are the best places to look for confirmed problems.
