The Verge is reporting that WhatsApp messenger service is experiencing a major outage. Tens of thousands of users are experiencing problems with the communication service which serves as the defacto messaging service for much of the world.
This is reminiscent of a major outage last October which affected more than ten million users and lasted nearly six hours.
If you want to stay connected try alternative messaging services like Telegram and Signal. Or hey, disconnect, take a walk, read a book.
