The evidence below covers the provider and our available checks. It is not a separate verdict for China. The report chart above is filtered to China.

Our checks can reach the WhatsApp website. Updated 5 Nov, 15:59 UTC, 2 min ago · Website checks: these do not test every feature Website reachability does not confirm that sign-in, payments, messaging or the app is working. No problems recorded since 5 Nov 2026.

Having trouble with WhatsApp?

  1. Compare reports from China and check the latest update above. A quiet chart does not rule out a new or local problem.
  2. Try the service on another device or switch between WiFi and mobile data, if available. If other sites also fail, check your internet provider.
  3. Report a problem with the feature that is failing and the country where you are affected. Submit once; your report appears in the chart.

Reports describe people's experiences. One report alone does not confirm an outage.

We request whatsapp.com and note whether it answers. These automated checks do not sign in or use the app's features.

Available evidence

We check whether its website loads every 5 minutes. This does not test sign-in, payments, calls or every feature of its app or network. We show a website problem when a quarter of the eligible places cannot load it, and an outage when half cannot. Places that normally cannot reach it are excluded. With too few results, we say we cannot tell.

Recent problems

No problems recorded since 5 Nov 2026.

Alert me when WhatsApp is down

HonkWatch can load WhatsApp's website for you from several cities and alert you by email, Slack, Discord or Telegram when it stops answering.

Questions

Is WhatsApp down, or is it just me?

Our checks reach WhatsApp's website from most of our cities. This does not rule out problems with sign-in, payments, an app or a local network. Check the community reports above and report your experience.

How do we know?

No official status feed is connected for WhatsApp. We load whatsapp.com from our probes and note whether it answers. People can report problems here. Their reports appear separately and may reveal issues before a provider update.

How often do we check?

The website every 5 minutes, day and night. We keep 90 days of available check history: a day we have no reading for shows as "no data yet", never as working.
