Hundreds of Italian users are encountering difficulties in using WhatsApp today, Wednesday 24 September: according to what reported on the DowDetector portal, which collects feedback by users, 74% cannot send messages, while 18% cannot access the app.
The first disservices were reported starting at 14:00, but they suffered strong growth in the last hour, reaching the peak of 390 at 16:32. At the moment, however, the problem seems to be coming back, since the reports are falling: the users, however, have not reported problems with the other social platforms owned by Meta, such as Messenger, Instagram and Facebook.
The major reports come from the main Italian cities, from Rome to Milan, up to Naples and Palermo, as visible also on the map below.
At the moment it is not clear whether the problem is also extended to other parts of the world: on X, however, some foreign users have reported difficulty in accede to the messaging app and in sending messages. On the part of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg’s company owner of WhatsApp (as well as Instagram and Facebook) has not yet arrived official confirmation.
