WhatsApp, the instant messaging service owned by Meta Platforms Inc. said it fixed an issue that caused a widespread outage, with tens of thousands of users reporting problems.

“We know people had trouble sending messages on WhatsApp today,” a spokesperson said in an emailed statement. “We've fixed the issue and apologize for any inconvenience.”

The company didn't elaborate further on what caused the disruption. Nearly 70,000 users reported disruptions including not being able to send messages or connect to the server, data from Down Detector showed on Tuesday morning.

Users around the world, including those in the UK, India, United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong, reported disruptions. The downtime follows a widespread disruption to the company's services a year ago that led to user gains by rivals such as Signal and Telegram.
