How fast is WhatsApp responding?

WhatsApp has averaged 850 ms across our successful checks in the past 24 hours, which is slower than ideal and may feel sluggish on a weak connection. Response time is measured from our probe to web.whatsapp.com and does not include rendering time in your browser.

WhatsApp is not working for me. Is it just me?

Our probe is reaching web.whatsapp.com normally right now, so the problem is more likely to be local to you than a full outage. Use the report button on this page to add your own signal — when several people report the same problem within a short window, it appears on the chart above.

WhatsApp is not working — what to try

  1. 1

    Check the app as well as the website

    Mobile apps and the website often run on different infrastructure. If WhatsApp fails in the app but works at web.whatsapp.com in a browser, an app update or a cache clear inside the app usually resolves it.

  2. 2

    Confirm the problem is not your connection

    Open any other site. If nothing loads, the issue is your network rather than WhatsApp. On Windows run ping web.whatsapp.com and nslookup web.whatsapp.com in Command Prompt; on macOS or Linux use Terminal. A DNS failure and a server failure look identical in a browser but are very different problems.

  3. 3

    Bypass your own cache

    Load web.whatsapp.com in a private or incognito window. If it works there, clear cookies and site data for web.whatsapp.com in your normal browser rather than clearing everything.

  4. 4

    Try a different network

    Switch from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or vice versa. Regional ISP routing problems are common and often affect one carrier while others are unaffected.
