What was up with WhatsApp?
It’s not every day you hear that the world’s most popular messaging app is down. Tuesday, 25th October saw some people’s worlds come crashing down when they could neither send/receive WhatsApp messages nor make audio or video calls. Turns out WhatsApp was experiencing an international downtime.
Some people were pretty calm about the entire situation whereas other people went berserk. Here are the different types of people during the WhatsApp outage:
1. The Ones Who Kept Blaming MTN
While WhatsApp engineers were up and down, MTN and Airtel were probably singing Akon’s “…baby you can put the blame on me…”
Because why else could somebody’s WhatsApp messages not be delivering if not for poor MTN network?
2. The Ones Who Kept Deleting and Reinstalling Their App
AKA Hot blood gang. While everyone was just putting their phones on Airplane mode and restarting them, these people took it to another level by deleting and reinstalling their WhatsApp several times.
You no calm down, now you’re posting “Resend last messages” up and down.
3. The Ones Who Quicky Migrated To Twitter And Telegram
After confirming that the WhatsApp issue was a general one, these ones were on Telegram and Twitter, texting and tweeting as if nothing happened.
Aluta continua? The show must go on.
4. The Cool Kids Who Quietly Switched To iMessages
The iPhone gang members who have a sure alternative, they quietly continued their texting on iMessage. There’s not much to say about these ones, they think they have made it in life.
