WhatsApp Down?

[grudas]

Question is, how many of you realized that you probably click that icon too often and spend too much time on X social network?

It made me realize I have moved completely off text / sms and 100% reliant on WhatsApp over the last few years

But FB have had outages that have lasted longer than this in the past and other global platforms have suffered lengthy outages (Fastly, AWS, Dyn although it was an attack etc)

I don't remember seeing a global platform-down event like this for a company like Facebook, as in - the whole thing down globally for this long, it's pretty rare. I'm an engineer at AWS and we have had outages in some AZs over the years, but nothing like this god forbid

WhatsApp is sort of back, it's incredibly slow but some messages are now showing as sent, not delivered yet though.

You lie! No way is that in Blurton, it would've been torn down and stripped for the copper within a week.

I'll have you know I live in the posh part of Blurton

So not your domain then, and would have still worked even if yours had gone down. Winner

They should be able to roll back worse case scenario, but that will involve some form of data loss, so they will try to avoid that.

They definitely getting somewhere though, as around about 30 minutes the A records were missing but appears they are now showing on mxtoolbox and name servers seem to be back too. Also getting a landed page if you visit Facebook by IP address rather than a complete failure.

No. Rolling back a DNS/bgp router configuration will not impact data in any way unless you really have no idea how to do IT

So the world kept turning anyway.

Correct. Essentially if it was routing related they would have potentially found a list of prefixes that may have been removed and readded them , announcing them to their peers which would advertise back out across the internet.

Has nothing to do with the loss of Facebook data or user data
