Several WhatsApp Web users have reported difficulties logging into their accounts, with the issue appearing to affect primarily iPhone users.
According to outage-monitoring platform Downdetector, 25 reports were recorded regarding the disruption, suggesting the problem is localised rather than widespread. Of those affected, 56 per cent reported issues with the website, 39 per cent flagged problems with the app, and 6 per cent experienced difficulties with messaging services.
