“No, No, No!” WhatsApp Crashed This Morning And The Whole World Freaked The Eff Out
"I wonder if the fax machine still works..."
You never really know how much you rely on an app until it’s taken away from you, and this morning, the world learned what it’s like to live without WhatsApp. The horror!
Users of the messaging app took to social media to vent their frustration about not being able to message their friends, because you know, SMS messaging is *so* 2009.
The app seems to have crashed around 8am, for an unknown reason, in Ireland, the USA, India, Spain and Germany. But thankfully it’s since come back to life. Check out some of the funniest responses below…
