Live community reports from other WhatsApp users let you see in real time whether messages, voice calls or video calls are broken globally.
WhatsApp shares core infrastructure with Facebook, Instagram and Messenger. When Meta has an incident, WhatsApp is usually affected alongside the others. A sudden surge in reports across all four apps is a strong signal Meta itself is down.
WhatsApp needs a constant internet connection on the phone itself — not just on WhatsApp Web. If your phone briefly drops Wi-Fi or mobile data, messages stop sending even if Web is open on your laptop.
WhatsApp Web disconnects whenever your phone loses signal for too long. Re-scan the QR code from WhatsApp → Linked Devices to restore the session.
WhatsApp is blocked in a handful of countries and throttled on some corporate, school and public networks. If WhatsApp is only unreachable on one network, this is almost always why.
If WhatsApp immediately boots you out with a "Your phone number is banned" message, the problem is account-specific. Contact WhatsApp support directly.
WhatsApp occasionally retires old app versions. If the app suddenly won't open at all and everyone else's WhatsApp works fine, update from the app store.
If WhatsApp is down globally, your messages will still queue and deliver automatically when service returns. If WhatsApp is only down for you, it's usually your phone's connection or the WhatsApp Web session.
IsItGoneDown tests WhatsApp from both a server outside your network and your browser, so you instantly know which side is the problem.
Use the button above to run a live check. You'll see global status instantly plus community reports from other WhatsApp users.
The cause is usually either a Meta-side outage, a drop on your phone's network, or the app needing an update. Queued messages deliver automatically when WhatsApp comes back.
Web needs both WhatsApp's servers and your phone online. If Web says 'Phone not connected', your phone lost its link.
Yes — outgoing messages are queued locally and delivered automatically once service returns. You'll see ticks update.
Yes — for country- or network-level blocks, a VPN routes your traffic through a different region and restores access. A VPN won't help if WhatsApp itself is down.
