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. #WhatsappDown

The reason for #WhatsAppDown could be an Indian engineer working there. His girl blocked him and he went 'le phir, main block to sab block'
