WhatsApp down: Messaging app not working for users worldwide

Popular messaging app ‘WhatsApp’ is down, with users forced to switch to one of the many other forms of communication still in operation.

People can’t send or receive messages using the Facebook-owned app, apparently because of a server problem.

The app doesn’t initially look broken, with chats and contacts able to load. But once a user is into a chat, the app just shows a “connecting” message that never resolves itself, and so new messages can’t be sent or received.
