As expected, social media, mostly Twitter, was one of the places where people went to inform each other of the latest developments and how they can all go back to chatting on the Meta-owned platform.
Earlier, the Meta-owned platform noted how it had been aware of the problem and that it was working to resolve it. The issue continues to be a topic of discussion amongst other social medias.
Here at Stuff, we started wondering how the world got by before WhatsApp. Remember phone calls? SMS? BBM and Mixit? Well, those with Telegram seem to have continued with life as an alternative to WhatsApp.
Here are some reactions from Twitter on Tuesday morning.
