They left disappointed users without their usual favourite medium of communication , whilst senior management met for a conference call to discuss quarterly earnings, the Business Times reported.

” earlier today, Whassap users in all parts of the world were unable to access Whassap for a few hours. We have now fixed the issue and apologise for the inconvenience”.
However, Whassap users still claim the service is working intermittently at best. One user told the eye of media.com ” Whassap has let its users down. They say they have fixed the problem, but my Whassap us still not working at all”.
Other users claimed their service was only working from time to time, with disruption still evident in the service.
