The Friday Night WhatsApp Scare

I’m sure by now everyone knows about last night’s WhatsApp hiccup. Last Seen, Online and Typing weren’t displaying in chats. When I tried to change any of the privacy settings last night I got this error,

Down Detector last night logged a litany of complaints about this issue in the US, UK and Europe.

The issue seems to have been resolved. Down Detector is now saying there are no issues with WhatsApp and most people I’ve talked to are saying they can see all three.

No Official word yet from WhatsApp.
