Meta reported Friday that there are disruptions to its internationally popular texting service WhatsApp, specifically the app’s Cloud API.
Incoming and outgoing message traffic had been impacted for an hour prior to the advisory, with Meta’s engineering teams actively investigating issue.
‘We will provide another update within 4 hours or sooner if additional information is available,’ Meta noted in its posting on the issue.
Meta posted the notice at 5:17pm Eastern Standard Time.

This time last month, a similar Could API issue brought multiple Meta-owned apps down simultaneously.
A trifecta of Meta-owned social media sites, Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp went down for users worldwide on April 3rd — with outages to the sites’ business and cloud API and lucrative user-tracking ad tech apparently linked to the issue.
‘We are aware that some advertisers may be experiencing issues either accessing or viewing reporting for their ads,’ a company status report posted at 19:19 GMT (15:19 ET) amid the April outage.
The Mark Zuckerberg-owned platforms were also down for at least two and a half hours on Tuesday, March 5th, leaving hundreds of thousands of users unable to access their accounts.
