Several countries, including Pakistan, faced a brief outage while using meta-owned instant messaging platform WhatsApp on Tuesday.
The service was, however, restored after a disruption that lasted for nearly two hours.
Initial reports had suggested users couldn't send or receive messages on the Meta-owned messaging platform, with #WhatsApp quickly turning into a top trend on Twitter.
WhatsApp is by far the most popular messaging platform in Pakistan.
US tech giant Meta had then confirmed a global outage had affected its messaging service WhatsApp and said it was working to restore the service "as quickly as possible".
The outage was reported after tracking website Downdetector shared that users were experiencing problems using the service.
As soon as the disruptions were reported, social media users started flooding Twitter with hilarious memes. You can go through some of them below:
