Why WhatsApp Server is Down Today 2024?
As I already mentioned above most of the users are facing issues with the WhatsApp server today which is worldwide.
If you try to send a message on WhatsApp then you will only see a single tick mark next to your message. But in reality, it should be double-tick with green color so that you will know that message was sent to the receiver.
The same thing goes while making a call. You can make a video or voice call on WhatsApp but it will be stuck in “reconnecting”. This is because the whole server of WhatsApp is down and Facebook is trying to solve the issue.
Besides, WhatsApp post a notice on Twitter saying that “We’re aware that some people are experiencing issues with WhatsApp at the moment. We’re working to get things back to normal and will send an update here as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience”.

How to Fix All Server Issue of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp 2024?
The simple answer is – you can’t.
Yes, the issue was from the Facebook side so there is nothing else you can do to fix the Facebook server being down or Instagram not working, or WhatsApp down problem right now.
All you have to do is just sit back and wait for the server to be back online so that you can again live on your favorite messaging app.
There is a huge impact on both websites and mobile apps. So if you think you can use the website of Facebook or Instagram then you again have to be disappointed.
But the one thing you can do is try other messaging apps such as Telegram or Viber or Emo and more for an alternative to Facebook or Instagram or WhatsApp.
If you can work to finish and you can’t connect with your friends or office workers when you are working from home then there are still other alternatives which you can rely on.
