UPDATE: WhatsApp is back and restored to normal
Updated | By Carol Ofori
Have no fear, for WhatsApp has now come back to life after being down for a small amount of time.
Comes as a huge relief to people and businesses as WhatsApp is now back online.
It was down for a couple of minutes and to much of our surprise people were absolutely loving it on Twitter.
So rest assured that anyone who is being floored with messages, can now be glad that their communication platform is back online again.
Still, we can have some sort of fun looking at various memes on social media.
