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.
WhatsApp (whatsapp.com) is a communication service monitored continuously by rimetry from multiple global regions. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds to detect outages, latency spikes, and regional degradations the moment they happen.
Right now WhatsApp is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 116 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.

Common issues

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