Is WhatsApp down?
Checks passingchecked 1 minute ago
Our checks of WhatsApp pass from all 10 regions we check.
As of Nov 5, 2026, 3:03 PM UTC, RealUptime's checks of WhatsApp passed in all 10 regions that returned a reading.
Our checks of WhatsApp did not fail from two or more distant regions in the 89 days we have checked it (since Aug 8, 2026). This does not show WhatsApp works for users.

WhatsApp publishes no status feed we can read, so the only reading here is our check reading on the left.

Check your own site while you wait on WhatsApp
Watching an outage above does not tell you whether your own connection or site is also having a problem. Enter your own URL for one live check, right now, no signup. This checks the site you enter, not WhatsApp. It cannot diagnose WhatsApp's own systems.
What we measured, function by function
WhatsApp answers on more than one surface, and they can fail apart. Each row is one surface, checked from the same regions. The verdict above follows the web row, because that is the surface we treat as this service's own; a failure on any other row is a partial outage, not a full one.

These are unverified reports from people using WhatsApp, counted separately from what our own probes measure. Anyone can file one, no account is needed, and the region on a report is chosen by the person filing it. We never open, extend or close an outage in our record based on report volume: only our own measurements do that. We started counting reports for WhatsApp on September 15, 2026.

No probe events on record yet for WhatsApp.
check entries are our own probes' readings; declared entries are the vendor's. How this check works
We have been measuring WhatsApp since August 8, 2026. We show nothing from before that date, and we never add an outage we did not observe ourselves, from any source.

Full check history for WhatsApp: 90 days of check results by region, month-by-month uptime by our checks, and every probe event on record.

How our checks compare with WhatsApp's stated SLA
At or above your target
Our checks of WhatsApp failed for none over the last 30 days, which is 100% uptime by our checks. A 99.9% target allows 43 minutes over that period.
Our checks show no gap in this period. That does not rule out one you saw.
These figures come from our own checks of one public endpoint per service. They are not the service's real uptime. This is computed from our own checks, not from WhatsApp's SLA instrumentation. Their contract is normally measured against their own systems, with their own exclusions and a claim window, so their figure and ours will differ. Use this to start the conversation and ask for their number. It is not legal advice and it is not a determination of what you are owed.
