WHATSAPP has crashed this morning, with users unable to send or receive messages.
Users have taken to other forms of social media to complain they can’t use the service as the global problem emerged.
WhatsApp has confirmed it is working on a solution to the problem.
The app crashed at about 8am with people across the country reporting it was down. By 9am users across London and the south east said the service had returned – while others across the midlands and up north suggested it was still playing up.
The outage appears to have hit much of Europe and some areas in Malaysia and Indonesia.
Reports of issues with the app have also come in from China, Saudi Arabia, India, the USA and Sri Lanka. Many users in countries outside of the UK were still reporting it down an hour later.
