WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook suffer a global drop in their services. Users of popular Meta applications have experienced communication failures for half an hour.

WhatsApp is the most used instant messaging system in the world, with nearly 2 billion users. The company was acquired in 2014 by Meta (then Facebook), after disbursing $21.8 billion. The CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, assured that the data of WhatsApp users would not be crossed with that of other companies in the group.
