Facebook Inc’s WhatsApp messenger was down for some users in India, according to user accounts on Facebook and Twitter on Friday afternoon.

Users in other countries also reported a WhatsApp outage on social media. The extent of the outage was not immediately known, and Facebook was not immediately reachable for a comment.

India is WhatsApp’s biggest market with about 200 million of its billion-plus users.

Twitter users had some hilarious things to say as WhatsApp was down:

500 people in India have already died because Whatsapp is down and they couldn't forward a chain message to 10 people.
