The problem has already been flagged in the DownDetector, a platform that analyzes and notifies instabilities on online platforms. According to the platform, WhatsApp’s instability had start around 1:30pmbut hit hundreds of user complaints around 3pm.
In the Oficina da Net editorial office we tested sending messages, and sometimes it works, sometimes there is no signal of sending, suggesting that it is really an instability in the app’s server. We even tried to use the web version of WhatsApp, but the system informs us that “it is having problems connecting”, and asks us to “try again in a few minutes”.

So far, no official note from WhatsApp has been released.
