Does Whatsapp web work?
Many are reporting that they are unable to access the website as well.
Those attempting to open the sites on desktop are reportingly being met with a black white page and a message that reads “500 server error”.
In addition to Whatsapp being down, Facebook, and Instagram are not working as well.
The app versions of Instagram and Facebook will open but will not load users’ feeds or show them new content.
WhatsApp messages are not reaching their recipients, with sent texts sitting with a clock icon next to them to indicate that they haven’t been dispatched.
