Is WhatsApp down?
Partially degradedchecked moments ago
WhatsApp is answering our probes, but its API is running at least 3.4x its 7-day median from US-West. Everything else we check answered at its usual speed.
As of Sep 23, 2026, 9:12 AM UTC, WhatsApp answered RealUptime's probes in all 10 regions that returned a reading.
No outage recorded in the 46 days we have measured WhatsApp (since Aug 8, 2026).
WhatsApp publishes no status feed we can read, so the only independent reading here is ours on the left.

Is it WhatsApp, or is it you?
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 api 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.
Recent outages
No outages on record yet for WhatsApp.
measured 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.

This page shows what we see when we check this service, using the same ten regions, for a site you run. RealUptime Monitor watches your own servers from inside your network, and it starts free.

Get told when we measure this
We will tell you when our probes stop reaching WhatsApp, and again when they can reach it again. That is our own measurement from ten regions, not WhatsApp's status page. No account, no card.

Live, from this page's own readings.[](https://realuptime.io/outages/whatsapp)<a href="https://realuptime.io/outages/whatsapp"><img src="https://realuptime.io/outages/whatsapp/badge.svg?days=30" alt="WhatsApp uptime measured by RealUptime"></a>The badge shows the share of our probes that succeeded over the last 30 days, and the window is printed on it so the number always says what period it covers. If our readings go stale it says stale, and if we have no readings it says so: it will not show green on data we cannot vouch for. Free, no account, and it links back here.

What WhatsApp's SLA implies, from our measurement
At or above your target
We measured none of downtime for WhatsApp over the last 30 days, which is 100% uptime by our reading. A 99.9% target allows 43 minutes over that period.
By our measurement there is no shortfall to claim for this period.
This is computed from our own probe measurements, 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.
