It’s currently unclear what is causing the problems although it seems some users are now able to send messages.
Twitter is jammed full of users tweeting about the problems with one simply saying: “Whatsapp is down. Worst year ever!”
“Thank you whatsapp for going down and providing some relief from groups one cannot exit,” another added.
Whist one Twitter user joked: “#Whatsapp helping drunk people tonight by taking down its servers #NoRegretfullTexts”

A WhatsApp spokesman confirmed to MailOnline: “Some people have had trouble accessing WhatsApp for a short period today.
“We’re working to restore service back to 100% for everyone and we apologize for the inconvenience.”
WhatsApp recently revealed it now has over 900 million people users and this is one of the busiest nights of the year for the service.
