Jammu Kashmir: Users of WhatsApp have tweeted that one of the world's most popular instant messaging apps has not been working for some time now. Some Instagram users also reported that the app is down.

No messages were getting delivered on WhatsApp, users tweeted, while no video or photos could be loaded on the photo- and video-sharing app.

Some users even complained about having trouble using Facebook too, but several said their app was working fine.

Services were restored at around 11:42 IST. Users online had begun reporting trouble at about 10:55 pm IST. Outage tracker Downdetector, too, showed a massive spike in outages at around this time.

It is still not known what caused the outage as there was no official word from the parent company Facebook. 

Many users across the world, including India, took to Twitter to report about the services being down and like anything on Twitterverse, things took a comic turn resulting in an explosion of memes.

The official account of WhatsApp on Twitter has not posted any message on the issue yet.

These Apps are owned by Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook Inc.

The outage tracking website downdetector.com reported that all three Facebook-owned apps - Messenger, WhatsApp and Instagram - were not working globally.
