Users encountered difficulties accessing WhatsApp Web on Friday morning, with complaints centred on problems logging in and synchronising chats.
The disruption, as reported by foreign media, also appeared to be limited in scope rather than widespread. Figures from outage-tracking platform Downdetector.ae recorded nearly 40 reports linked to the issue.
Of those affected, 87 per cent cited login problems with the website, 3 per cent reported issues with the app, and 10 per cent experienced difficulties sending or receiving messages.
Initial indications suggest the disruption affected users attempting to link WhatsApp Web to their iPhones.
