The messaging app, WhatsApp, is down with users of the social media platform unable to send, and receive messages.

Nigerians and other users of the instant communication app, owned by Meta, were unable to either receive or send messages.

Tuesday’s outage began around 8:00 am with several of the users heading to other social media platforms like Twitter to lament the development.

A check indicated that users could not send messages to groups while personal messages only showed one tick which means that such messages were not delivered to the recipient. The WhatsApp status feature did not also function.

The messaging platform has not commented on the development as of the time of this report.
