In case you are facing similar issues on your phone, we recommend waiting for some time as the issues are on the server end. Do not try reinstalling the app as it will totally lock you out of the app until the connection is fixed. 

As per the report by Down Detector, 58 per cent of users have complained about connection issues. While 39 per cent users are not able to send or receive messages, 2 per cent are complaining about the log-in error. This clearly suggests that the problems are at the WhatsApp servers and should be fixed soon. 

The issue is not only limited to India but is consistent across many parts of the world. Apart from the Android or iOS app, the users are also not able to access the web version of the messaging platform. Once the issue is fixed, we will update this area.
