However, as of press time, it appears that services on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram have resumed.

Given the sudden outage, netizens took to Twitter to vent their frustration.

“It’s 2022, is WhatsApp down or is no one texting me?” @hafizkenny tweeted.

“I thought the internet was slow because WhatsApp was always connecting, apparently everyone has the same problem,” @mnharzk tweeted.

“I don’t care if Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp are down. Twitter is my only place to talk,” @kep1_yjxt said.

All services were restored at 3.30pm. – The Vibes, January 25, 2022
