After more than six hours of inactivity, WhatsApp has restored its instant messaging service, being the third social network to return after Facebook and Instagram, which also resumed their functions. Once the scandal was over, users reported that the apps were slowly improving both on Android and iOS.
Monday, October 4th, will go down in internet history as the day when the three social networks managed by Facebook suffered a worldwide outage, causing a lack of communication among all its users.
In a globalized and technological world, this outage changed the lives of some people, mainly young people, who had to go back to past times.
And it is that to communicate with another person, they opted again for phone calls and the old-fashioned text messages, which had often been forgotten thanks to WhatsApp.
In addition, it confirmed the strength of Twitter, a social network that admitted an increase in users at the same time due to the need that many had to know what was happening with their favorite applications.
Although an official statement has not yet been made regarding the reasons for WhatsApp's worldwide outage, the millions of users around the world can return to their usual routine of sending messages to their contacts.
