The world was sent into panic mode after the instant messaging app WhatsApp went down. And in turn, halting multiple businesses and conversations. The boxing world also saw the panic spread, as KSI took to social media to voice his concerns.

WhatsApp has over 2 billion global users. Not to mention the countless businesses that rely on the platform. The messaging app suffered a major outage during the early hours of Tuesday and remained inaccessible for almost two hours.
Meta’s tech team had to quickly get into action so as to keep this fast-paced ‘Metaverse’ running. And the app finally resumed services after 2 AM Pacific Time.

While Meta did not reveal the reason for the outage. A spokesperson later updated users, saying, “We know people had trouble sending messages on WhatsApp today. We’ve fixed the issue and apologize for any inconvenience.”
Meanwhile, KSI was quick to notice the void created by WhatsApp’s outage.

Why WhatsApp not iMessage

A few iPhone aficionados, on the other hand, were quick to promote iMessage as their favorite messaging app. However, it should be noted that, while iMessage is a popular app, it sees far less traffic than WhatsApp.
