Karachi, September 8, 2024 – Millions of WhatsApp users across Pakistan are experiencing service disruptions today, primarily affecting those using mobile data. The issue, which began early this morning, has left many unable to send or receive messages, make calls, or use other key features of the popular messaging app.
Reports indicate that users in major cities, including Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, are facing the most significant challenges. While the app remains operational for those connected to Wi-Fi, mobile data users are encountering intermittent outages.
The problem appears to be linked to a technical issue between WhatsApp’s servers and local mobile data providers. Both WhatsApp and major mobile network operators in Pakistan are working to resolve the issue, but no official timeline has been provided for a complete resolution.
In response, WhatsApp has advised affected users to connect to Wi-Fi if possible and to stay updated through the app’s official channels and social media accounts.
For those experiencing severe disruptions, alternative messaging platforms like Telegram and Signal may serve as temporary solutions. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
