    If @WhatsApp @Facebook @instagram were all down, does that mean that they were connected all along or did the power go out in the building? There have been claims that these three have been transferring data and due to recent unexpected events, I'm starting to believe the claims.

    @WhatsApp and @facebookapp were down, but I wasn't fazed one bit. I experienced a little inconvenience, but went straight to calling my contacts or texting them via telegram. Try to develop a life outside of social media, it's very important!

    @kate95728676 @WhatsApp Maam these apps are supposed to provide convince and service. If at a point they can't do it , I think we are supposed to change it or find alternatives..

  • FrodoAllan Frodo Allan (@FrodoAllan) reported

  • Gr4yG Gr4y_Gh0st (@Gr4yG) reported

    @Facebook, @instagram and @WhatsApp are feeling reaaally bad, not because their services are down, but because they can't call it a #feature !
