What to Do If WhatsApp Is Down

If you are having trouble accessing WhatsApp, try these troubleshooting steps before concluding that the service is experiencing an outage.

1

Check your internet connection

Before assuming WhatsApp is down, verify that your internet connection is working. Try loading a different website like google.com. If other sites also fail to load, the problem is with your connection, not WhatsApp.

2

Clear your browser cache and cookies

Corrupted cache data can prevent WhatsApp from loading properly. Clear your browser cache and cookies, then try again. In most browsers you can do this from Settings > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data.

3

Try a different browser or device

If WhatsApp does not load in your current browser, try a different one (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). You can also try accessing WhatsApp from your phone or a different computer to rule out device-specific issues.

4

Flush your DNS cache

Stale DNS records can prevent your device from connecting to WhatsApp. On Windows, open Command Prompt and run "ipconfig /flushdns". On Mac, open Terminal and run "sudo dscacheutil -flushcache". On Linux, run "sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches".

5

Try using a VPN

If WhatsApp is blocked in your region or your ISP is having routing issues, connecting through a VPN may resolve the problem. This is especially helpful if WhatsApp works for others but not for you.

6

Check the mobile app

If the WhatsApp website is not loading, try the WhatsApp mobile app (or vice versa). Social media platforms sometimes have issues with one platform while the other continues working normally.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is WhatsApp down right now?
This page shows the real-time status of WhatsApp based on automated monitoring by Qodex. The status badge at the top of the page updates every 60 seconds. If WhatsApp is experiencing issues, you will see a "Down" or "Degraded" indicator along with details about when the problem was first detected.
Why is WhatsApp not working?
There are several reasons WhatsApp might not be working for you: (1) WhatsApp could be experiencing a server-side outage affecting all users; (2) your internet connection may be down or unstable; (3) your DNS cache may be stale; (4) a regional network issue could be affecting your connection to WhatsApp's servers; or (5) WhatsApp may be performing scheduled maintenance. Check the uptime chart above to see if our monitors are also detecting issues.
How long do WhatsApp outages usually last?
Most WhatsApp outages are resolved within 30 minutes to 2 hours. Major outages affecting all users are typically addressed as a top priority by WhatsApp's engineering team. Minor or regional outages may take longer to resolve. You can monitor the situation in real time on this page, which updates automatically.
Where can I report a WhatsApp outage?
You can report issues with WhatsApp through their official status page or support channels at https://web.whatsapp.com. You can also check social media platforms like Twitter/X for reports from other users. This Qodex monitoring page provides an independent, automated check of WhatsApp's availability.
Is WhatsApp down just for me?
If this page shows WhatsApp as "Operational" but you cannot access it, the issue is likely on your end. Try these steps: clear your browser cache, try a different browser or device, restart your router, try using a VPN, or check if your ISP is experiencing issues. If our monitors also show problems, it is a widespread issue.
