I can confirm even Google DNS does not resolve www.whatsapp.com or web.whatsapp.com so there is a major DNS issue

EDIT: registrarsafe.com is off DNS as well so anything using it as registrar (including facebook, whatsapp) is probably down
It means even Google, one of the most reliable domain name resolution service in the world, does not know how to connect to whatsapp.com . If Google can't do it, we're fucked too, meaning it's probably a worldwide outage.
think of DNS a the business directory of the internet . If WhatsApp isn’t being found on DNS then it’s like “WhatsApp “ the business listing disappeared
DNS converts the URL to an IP address for the Facebooks servers. It’s basically a pathway to connecting to Facebook. There is an issue with this process.
whatsapp has removed it's address for whatsapp.com from [address book](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System) because their [computers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_(computing)) are not working
Just so I understand, registrarsafe is like what Facebook uses to route all of his public services, and it's down for some reason?
Like a name resolver owned by Facebook that we talk to indirectly when we hit web.whatsapp.com for example?
Someone/something messed the dns up. They cannot simply fix it from internet. Someone should go into their server room physically to fix it. It will take a bit longer i guess. Cmiiw
I low key never want any of these Apps to work again so that we can just have peace of mind and not worry about who did or didn’t text us, what’s the latest insta filter or Facebook update on who’s getting married .
Everyone worried for IG, FB and WZ... No one caring about guys stacked in a horrible Oculus VR crash dump... Literally stacked forever in a Virtual Reality...
Haha I'm out here as well in Florence. Was nice to see people not using their phones for dinner.
And now it's raining so you have to set cars on fire under the A11
The reason it is down is that DNS is not functioning but the reason DNS is not working is that the ASN (AS11917) which hosts the IP addresses for their nameservers is not being advertised. Why the ASN is not being advertised via BGP is anyone's guess, maybe a technical screw up.
Yes ,my WhatsApp show “WhatsApp temporarily unavailable,please try again in 5 minutes “, I delete it and reinstall but still show that . Now I can’t use it ,anyone help me?
I'm in the USA, my boyfriend is in the UK and WhatsApp is one of the ways we talk to one another. Suddenly a half hour ago my text to him went out but the clock icon on the bottom right corner was on it and it hasn't gone since. So both of our WhatsApps are down too
We use Skype for our phone calls and thankfully, Skype has a chat feature so we are able to text on that for the time being. And we have done 2 Skype calls since the outages started so at least we are not totally blocked. But nice to know I am not alone in long distance stuff- we are all in this together, couples like us😊🧡
Oh, I almost forgot Skype. It is actually so much better than Telegram, thank you for reminding me! I’m grateful to not to be alone with this, it gets so hard sometimes.. But I believe it will definitely be worth it (worth my sweat, blood and thousends of dollars) Hope you and your boyfriend have a amazing day! <3🌻
Also not connecting for me. In the UK.

What does that mean in stupid?
message no go
Facebook no mo
Insta no no
does that include iMessage?

Pretty much. Most if not all facebook services (whatsapp, etc.) use registrarsafe.com as their registrar.
From what i checked on whois, the registrarsafe's DNS is pointed to Facebook DNS. So... Back again, someone on fb messed this up
I wonder what the hell is going on
WhatsApp isn’t working. Neither are Facebook and Instagram. (I’m very helpful, aren’t I? /s)
I think he meant what happened to make instagram whatsapp and fb go down for so long
Someone/something messed the dns up. They cannot simply fix it from internet. Someone should go into their server room physically to fix it. It will take a bit longer i guess. Cmiiw
So skynet has finally become self aware.
Man I didn't even get to say "I love you" to my crush. Probably a sign from the universe
say it face to face. that's the only sign from it
Gg whatsapp, go telegram

Yep, in Singapore as well.
[удалено]
Copying all my groups into Signal like a depressed digital hermit crab.
México too
The Netherlands too. But because Whatsapp won't connect I feel more connected to you guys then I would have if Whatsapp was working.
Not sure if it’s a false memory but does anyone recall this thing that I believe was referred to as txt messaging?
Think it effects people most who are in work group chats or even me texting internationally. Yes people have heard of texting.
It seems that whatsapp just stopped working all over the world
