    @WhatsApp My WhatsApp is not working 😒

  • sometimesshruti Shruti Jalali (@sometimesshruti) reported

    @WhatsApp A better error message would help reduce user frustration during an outage. Displaying "No internet connection" when the issue is specific to WhatsApp servers or connectivity is so misleading and leads people down unnecessary rabbit holes and panic to figure out what's wrong.
