Is WhatsApp down right now?
Live status check for WhatsApp (whatsapp.com) - updated every time you load this page.
Is WhatsApp down for everyone or just me?
This page checks WhatsApp (whatsapp.com) directly from our servers, separate from your own network, ISP, and device. If the status above shows "Down", WhatsApp is experiencing a real outage or server problem and it isn't something wrong with your connection. If it shows "Up" but WhatsApp still won't load, isn't working, or feels broken for you specifically, the issue is more likely local - your wifi, DNS, a VPN, a browser extension, or a firewall between you and WhatsApp's servers.
People search "is whatsapp down", "whatsapp down detector", "whatsapp not working", "whatsapp server status", and "whatsapp outage" whenever whatsapp.com suddenly stops responding. This checker answers that question with a live request, not user reports or social media chatter, so you get a direct answer on whether WhatsApp is actually down right now.
Want to know the moment WhatsApp - or any site you rely on - goes down, instead of checking manually? Kawze lets you set up an uptime monitor with a custom check interval as fast as 10 seconds, and sends instant email or SMS alerts the second a monitor detects downtime. Unlike this one-off check, a Kawze monitor watches your chosen URL continuously and notifies your whole team automatically - no per-seat charges, on every plan including the free tier.
Frequently asked questions
Is WhatsApp down right now?
Check the live status widget above - it reflects a check made from our servers moments ago. Refresh it for an up-to-date answer at any time.
Why is WhatsApp not working for me but this page says it's up?
An "Up" result means our servers received a normal response from whatsapp.com. If WhatsApp still isn't working for you, try clearing your browser cache, restarting your router, checking a different network, or waiting a few minutes - the problem is more likely local to your device or ISP than a WhatsApp-wide outage.
How do I get alerted if WhatsApp goes down again?
This page is a one-off check, not a monitor. To get automatic email or SMS alerts the moment WhatsApp (or any site you depend on) goes down, set up a free Kawze monitor - it checks on a schedule you choose and notifies you the instant it detects downtime.
