If WhatsApp isn't working

Is it down for everyone? If messages won't send for many people at once, it's the app, not your phone.

  • Check other apps work, to rule out your connection.
  • Update the app from your app store.
  • Don't reinstall during an outage: you could lose unsaved chats.
  • Tell @WhatsApp on X. Companies respond faster when many people post.
