THE Tory government’s “reliance” on WhatsApp to carry out official business came under fresh criticism today after the app was hit by a two-hour service outage.
People trying to send and receive messages began reporting issues just before 8am on Tuesday. However, by around 10am the service had returned for many users.
Meta, which owns the app, said it had fixed the issue but did not explain the cause of the problem.
