The afternoon of Monday, 4, is being difficult for those who need to work on the internet or who can’t be without access to social networks. That’s because the WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook apps, the most popular and used worldwide, have gone off the air and have no plans to return. In addition, tools like Telegram, TikTok, Netflix and Spotify have received complaints of instability.
WhatsApp stopped working around 12:30 pm today, according to Downdetector monitoring site. A map provided by the platform also showed that the problem was not only reported in Brazil, but also in Argentina, Peru and Colombia. In the same period, Instagram and Facebook users also began reporting on the tools’ downfall.
