03/11/17: WhatsApp down across the world. Edit: Again on 04/10/21

All 3 (FB, Instagram and Whatsapp)

The world seems so normal for the time being.. no one in the vicinity of me is looking at the mobile screens, someone is reading the newspaper and someone slept early

The good old days relived again for some time

A few weeks back Google was down, now WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook.

Just imagine what would happen if google went kaput, the literal world we live in would flip. No more Android, Gmail and YouTube

This video really got me thinking !!

Sitting at IGI Airport, I was banging my head to get message across when my daughter called me and informed me of Global Outage of Services

Time will tell how much financial loss has been suffered.

On the contrary, productivity goes up

unless they are diverting that extra time in an auto forum

The last WhatsApp messages I received was at 8:55 PM, I guess its down since 9:00 PM.

Its almost 2 AM and its still down. I believe this is by-far the longest that all Facebook entities have been down.

True that. The World is at peace, even if for a few hours.

They have lost billions of dollars. Just saw the Romanian news that Zuckerberg has lost 7 billion dollars today.

This comes a day after a whistleblower went public and accused Facebook on prioritising profits over safety

Almost thought my net connection went kaput as most of my notifications are centered around Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram

Lets hope everything comes back to normal soon !

AYP · 5th October 2021, 05:12

Things came back to normal from around 4:07 am.

The total duration of the outage was just about 7 hours. Seems like Zuckerberg lost a Billion for each hour.

piyush350 · 5th October 2021, 05:16

I for one hope it does not come back.
People at my workplace are using it all the time and today they are bored like never before. I use FB but with a time limit on it to control my spend.

I for one didn’t even notice that WA was down (I don’t even know what’s Facebook/Instagram). Around 9.15 pm I checked WA to see that it wasn’t working. I blamed it on the network, watched IPL, read a book and slept off. Only this morning, I realised from the forum post that those services were down.

I’m not complaining at all.

Not meaning to be inconsiderate to some people who's livelihood relies on WhatsApp, I feel like many in this world are overreacting to the (temporary) shutdown of one of the biggest social evils in our generation.

Turbohead · 5th October 2021, 07:29

I'm not complaining at all, except for WhatsApp.

I'm sick of Facebook and Instagram. You keep scrolling all day there thinking there is something that you missed while in reality it's just a shallow place which sucks your time into oblivion. The infinity scroll is the biggest curse on humankind

Deleted Facebook but Instagram still is luring at times. I only install the app on weekends and delete it by Monday. I actually end up catching up with my old friends on insta.

The fact that people called up and checked on others like it was holocaust cracked me up.
