Independent check rounds

Is WhatsApp down, or is it just you?

Multiple independent check rounds from rimetry's monitoring infrastructure, run seconds apart.

Our checks reached WhatsApp successfully in every round of the last check cycle.

Check roundLast checkSuccess rate (24h)Avg response
Round 1Reachable100%609 ms
Round 2Reachable100%604 ms
Round 3Reachable100%591 ms
Round 4Reachable100%597 ms

Based on 3,252 automated checks in the last 24 hours. Each round is an independent pass over the same endpoint, seconds apart — a single failing round is not an outage; repeated failures across rounds are.

What can be affected

What can be affected on WhatsApp?

These are the main WhatsApp functions that can experience separate issues.

  • Login & authentication
    Test signing in from a private browser window or another device
  • Messaging
    Send to a different chat to see whether it's account-specific
  • Voice
    Switch voice region or server if calls fail to connect
  • Video calls
    Test audio-only first: video often fails while voice still works
  • Notifications
    Check notification permissions before reporting missing alerts
  • Mobile app
    Force-close and reopen the app, then retry on mobile data

This list shows which parts can fail on their own. It does not mean any of them is failing right now — the live status above is the only claim we make about the current state.

About WhatsApp

WhatsApp is a messaging application utilized for end-to-end encrypted chats, voice calls, and media sharing through mobile and desktop clients. Features like WhatsApp Web and status updates rely on persistent connections to the platform's backend infrastructure. Technical failures often prevent messages from being sent, disrupt ongoing calls, or stop media files from downloading. People check Rimetry to see if these communication hurdles are confirmed by our real-time tracking of the service’s response times and availability from worldwide testing servers.

Problems with WhatsApp can affect login & authentication, messaging, voice independently.

WhatsApp (whatsapp.com) is a communication service monitored continuously by rimetry's automated checks. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds in repeated independent rounds to detect outages and latency spikes the moment they happen.

Right now WhatsApp is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 60 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to whatsapp.com are seeing it work normally.

Common causes of disruption for services like WhatsApp include backend API failures, region-specific routing problems at the CDN or ISP layer, expired TLS certificates, DNS misconfigurations, and capacity spikes during major events. rimetry combines automated probes, vendor status feeds, and verified community reports to give you a single high-confidence answer instead of guessing.

What is WhatsApp?

Meta's messaging platform.

WhatsApp is part of our Communication category. You can also review current trending outages across the internet.

Common issues

  • · Messages stuck sending
  • · Calls dropping or failing to connect
  • · Notifications delayed
  • · Login or device-linking errors

Similar patterns often surface across other communication providers — cross-check against the global outage map.

Troubleshooting

  • · Test signing in from a private browser window or another device
  • · Send to a different chat to see whether it's account-specific
  • · Switch voice region or server if calls fail to connect
  • · Test audio-only first: video often fails while voice still works
  • · Check whether messages fail to send or fail to arrive — they're different problems
  • · Test a call on mobile data to rule out firewall or Wi‑Fi restrictions
  • · Restart the app so it re-establishes its websocket connection
  • · Confirm notification permissions if alerts are silent
  • · Try the web client to see whether the desktop app alone is affected
  • · Check WhatsApp's official social channels

Not sure whether it's you or the service? Run a live speed test, check what your IP looks like from the edge, or watch for regional trouble on the worldwide outage map. For the wider picture, browse recent incidents or filter down to communication.
